Good point, Aaron.  Thanks for replying.  So why not let the user decide?  

We can configure all the other desktops (Activities).  I think not being able to configure this also doesn't quite match up with the design very well either.  I can understand the concern about limiting resource drain that KDE has, but what does it matter if I want a black / grey checkerboard vs. a white / grey?  Granted, I'm not a programmer.

David.
