Description

Admin

Add a new metabox in the editor to choose an image and/or color for the background of the current post or page.

The form could share (or reuse) code from Appearance > Background like the color picker and uploader.

Front-end

CSS would be added to via wp_head to add the background to the page. If per-page or per-post settings exist they'd trump global background settings.

Reusing Images

It might be useful to display all background images you've ever uploaded so you can reuse one instead of uploading it again. In that case you'd choose an existing image previously uploaded. See #15100 for the same general idea for custom header images.

If/when we implement multiple post thumbnails per post, this would be a fine (and logical) extension of that feature. Sounds like a good plugin, personally.

+1 for a plugin or just add classes to your theme CSS and the power of post_class().
