Yet another background is that of the graph (easy for 2D and 'view map',
more intriguing for 3D), and for the key.

What about some new syntax for that?

set key ... background rgb "gray10"
set border ... background rgb "gray10"
set size ... background rgb "cyan"

or

set style background {key | border | graph | paper} .... ?
