Gregory's question was essentially the same as mine.  But when I set the
backcolor and the backpixmap of a brand new stack to empty, I don't get an
OS X striped background... I get a plain white background.  This is with no
other stacks open, and the look and feel set to OS Native, with MC 2.4.1
under OS X version 10.1.2.

Also I notice that the palettes (Preferences, Tools, basically any window I
bring up) DO have the striped background, but the home stack itself has a
plain white background.

So is this atypical, or am I missing something?
