A single background color should be fine, IMO. 

 <Image>
 File : [ ..... ] <Browse ...>
 Background color: <color>


I like the idea of using an option menu for the different background
styles. Possible tweaks (not necessarily better, just different):

* one 'Color' option + additional option menu 

  <Color>
  <solid | vertical | horizontal> <color1> <color2>

* Image list + random option

  <Image list>
  [x] Random image  
  Interval : <<10>> min

* List editor integrated with the dialog (like the GNOME dialog)?
