There are more issue:
  - The javadoc of Compoenent.getBackground() states that the color of 
the parent container should be returned, but the window has not parent 
container it has the owner. Moreover the javadoc for 
Window.getBackground() simply states that it returns the color of the 
window.
  - If we state that the parent/owner color should be used will mean 
that isBackgroundSet() for our window should return false. And the owner 
color should be returned when its color was changed after our window was 
shown. But I assume that if our window is shown the changes in the owner 
color does not affect us.

My assumptions is that we should set it, if it was not set by the user: 
At least even on windows we have such comments:
   WComponentPeer.java: // Set background color in C++, to avoid 
inheriting a parent's color.
   WDialogPeer.java: //* Native create() peeks at target's background 
and if it's null calls this method to arrage for default background to 
be set on target.  Can't make the check in Java, since getBackground 
will return owner's background if target has none set. */
