One thing that has been bugging me (and from questions on IRC / mail and real 
life, not just me) is the topic of how to set a shape background.
There currently is a tool to set a gradient and something else to set a 
patterned background. I'm not entirely clear how to set a solid background 
color myself...
What would be very welcome is if you can take a look at the problem of how to 
set a background to one or more shapes.
One thing often forgotten is that the user should also have the ability to set 
a transparant background (i.e. remove whats there).

Next to this is the problem that KPresenter and KWord can have a background for 
a slide or page. Technically this is also a shape, but the user can't select 
that shape so I am not sure how to make the association of the user settings to 
be for the slide/page background.


Maybe you can make a design proposal that we can find a volunteer to implement, 
this project would be much easier to do in a plugin and as such its something 
that can be experimented with easier by anyone that may or may not be an 
existing KOffice contributor.
