i have to disagree. The PNG background color semantics are very different
from the proposed XCF bg color. In fact, PNG provides a presentation hint
for the image's environment, rather than specifying the image's colors.
I have recently posted my analysis somewhere upstream on this thread.

My conclusion is that importing as layers is independent from the image
background color. It should not modify this color.

no opinion on that from my side. I chose white solely to match the
current default image's color.
