Allow for a default background image upload in theme settings [#1796098]

It makes sense to me if the background image is set in the same place as one sets the logo and the favicon, which means the theme settings page under admin/appearance. HOOK_form_system_theme_settings_alter() would probably need to be implemented.

Looks like Background module did just this for D6, but there's no port to D7.

I'm don't think I agree. Putting the background image form on the theme settings page would restrict the user to only being able to globally apply a background image to the entire site. You can achieve the same effect right now (with the additional bg_image_context or bg_image_ui modules) but you also have the flexibility to apply background images only to certain pages as well.

I probably shouldn't have worded it as "moving" the functionality; what I was really talking about was having the additional option of setting a default background image for the theme from the theme settings page. bg_image_context or bg_image_ui would be able to override the default. The main reason I'd find this useful is in the case where a user just wants to be able to switch out the background image globally, without requiring the Context module dependency.

This would probably be a new submodule, which I'd be willing to work on if you agree. If you still don't find think this is necessary, close the issue again and I'll drop it. :)
