OK, a dumb question, from a Mac programmer even.  What does Backgrounder do?
I always thought that it had something to do with background printing.
After I installed System 7 and was browsing through the floppies, I saw that
Backgrounder was on one of them but it wasn't installed.  I tried background
printing and it worked, so I know it's not involved with that.

BTW, I just installed System 7 so I missed out on some previous threads.
Anyone figure out how to change the staggered grid amount yet?  It seems
pretty unorganized looking to me.  It doesn't make sense to organize
horizontally with a staggered grid.  Vertically looks OK but there's less
space that way.
