 Hi everybody

 I've been making some maps these days for a poster presentation and, if I
 may, i have a "little" wishlist for some display modules:
 - an option for background color would be highly appreciated for legend,
 grid labels, north arrow and text in the GUI (d.text has this "bgcolor"
 option in command line but it is not available in the GUI)
 - also the possibility to add legends for vector maps would be really nice
 to have (i saw this was listed for GSoC)...

 There's no option for legend background color in g.gui.psmap, either, nor
 for adding legends of vector maps representing different categories. I
 mean, there's a vector legend option in psmap, but if you are interested
 in polygons with different categories and you want to add a legend for
 that, there's no way to do it (unless you convert the vector map to a
 raster map, which was what I had to do)...

 Don't know how much work may be required, but IMHO, this would make
 cartographic composition in our favourite GIS a bit more friendly and
 customizable.

 Thanks a lot! :)

 Vero
