When talking about Scribus the current solution is the best I can 
imagine. After all Scribus is a dtp application which means that things 
you create with it are most likely to be printed on paper which then 
again most likely will be white. Having the page background something 
else than the paper color is a really strange solution. In preferences 
you are allowed to set the paper color what ever you want though.

Back to the topic. In scribus one can easily create borders from a svg 
image. First import a svg image then just imported svg image selected 
select "Multiple Duplicate" from the Item menu choose a desired number 
of copies and for top and bottom borders set vertical shift to 0 and 
other way round. It's pretty simple this way. This could work as a 
temporary solution until the artists at openclipart will create their 
first borders.
I've used a couple of svgs in my layouts from openclipart and have not 
had any problems with them in Scribus.
