What the point of showing it in the sidebar if it doesnt work?
The issues has been there for three majors releases and no one has fixed it
yet...
 besides, there are already 4 duplicates... thus, IMHO, it's better to hide it
for now than showing it while it doesn't work... it might create confusion
among users when they save their documents as the background will get lost...
Please note this fix should be temporal, and the root cause should be fixed at
some point, then we can show the option in the sidebar again...
