Er, any background that is, well, structured :)
i.e. contains anything that is not of color pagecolor.
This encompasses color gradients (supported by background.sty
from PPower4 and TeXPower 0.0.9 (forthcoming)), background
pictures (supported by pdfscreen, pdfslide, ifmslide and
one of the letter updates of TeXPower immediately after 0.0.9)
or anything else which could go `behind' the text which
is to be displayed incrementally, like colored boxes or
colored tabular cells.
In all these cases, \hidevanish, unlike \hidetext or \hideboxed,
will _not_ make text vanish, but appear visible in color pagecolor
in front of anything which is of a different color.

Stephan
