For the user, it is meant to be the first, but applications are meant to only 
bother with the latter (at least in long-term perspective).

We decided against the option name "hide background images by default" because 
it also effects the some of the planned KCS convenience functions. It might 
make sense, however, to use "Strict mode: Do not show default background 
images" in 4.0 until KCS is extended to handle the more complicated 
application cases that would be effected by the setting.
