"Document background" is fine with me, having the "document" in is the important part for me :) (well, slide/page of course would be even better, but so far I found no trick).

How soon will your private branch make it to master? For 2.5 already?
Otherwise I am now just waiting for your ship-it for this patch as an intermediate improvement for 2.5 :)

Most important are to state that this (only) about the background of the whole page/slide/document, not normal shapes, and to disable the "Set image..." button if the background of the master slide should be used.
