The problem I see with changing "root" to "background" is that root isn't the name of a layer like background is. It indicates that its elements are not grouped under any of the layers. In fact, elements under root can be both in front of and behind an element on Layer 1, or any other layer. In English, at least, root seems like the appropriate term, while background could be misleading.

Hi,
the layer name "(root)" is not translatable until now - I filed the following patch for it: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1219305&gro...
As it says there, should we maybe change the "(root)" to "(Background)"? Gimp 2.2 uses this word, so unless calling this the "root" is vector graphics parlance, I think we should switch.
This also comes from my inability to find a nice translation for "root" that doesn't look strange in that context. :)
Cheers, Colin
