Hi Folks,
        Just so you know. The only reason for #7447 is because we
haven't put the UI in to enable it. libabiword supports background
colors. If the Powers That Be decide that this is an important feature
for children it is very easy to implement it. Every feature of AbiWord
is present in libabiword, say the word and we'll implement it for Write.

I'm not sure different colors for different users is such a good idea
though. The document will quickly become a mess.  Though if the kids
want to do this they can.

Cheers
