This is The Background Problem, and there's no easy fix
on the horizon.

(The basic problem is that, in general, a widget's background
depends on the containing widget, but there's no good way yet
for the background element to locate this information.  There's
a similar issue with checkbuttons, radiobuttons, and labels inside
notebook widgets on Windows XP.)
