What do you mean by background? If you mean the background of the
window, then I think Emacs sets that on X Windows.  See this part of
x_set_background_color in xfns.c:

      XSetWindowBackground (dpy, FRAME_X_WINDOW (f), bg);

What I was commenting on was that GTK+ provides the ability to change
the style of frame decorations on a per-GtkWindow basis.  See
gtk_window_set_titlebar and friends.

But linking with dwmapi.dll _WILL_ prevent Emacs from starting on older
systems.

Which is not done in the changes made by the OP.

Whatever tone you might have perceived, I assure you was a misperception
on your part.  I only made comments based on facts.
