Interesting idea! I might actually use such a feature. One could have
different background color on important buffer, to quickly recognize
them when swithing/cycling/whatever buffers or when having several
frames or windows.

I saw Stefan's reply, let's hope for Emacs 23...

I wonder if it could be implemented using overlays in the meantime, or
maybe that would be slow? Or impossible.
