Most of it will be editable (color pickers). The background-image UI is 
still displayed as a text input, and it's there where most of the custom 
styling can be placed. It just means that instead of putting the name of 
an attachment in that input, the users will see some complex CSS, like:

Banner (header image - the name of an image attached to the theme document)
------------------------------------------------
| -moz-gradient(linear, #900, #993);
| background-image: -webkit-linear-gradient(...);
| border-radius: 1em;
------------------------------------------------

It's not exactly kosher, but it's not uneditable using the wizard.
