The background color should NOT be an option.  It should be whatever
background color the user has specified, which is the way this used to
work.

Bug #376997 involved a blatently false assumption that stand-alone
images were displayed against a white background.  Prior to SeaMonkey
2.8, I always saw stand-alone images against a pale mint-green
background because that is how I set my default background color.
