[ODF] Gradient fill for backgrounds of text documents and spreadsheets

[Regina Henschel]

Hi all,

the same problem of allowing gradient fill exists for paragraph, table 
and header/footer. I have attached an analysis text and some variants of 
changes to the schema to 
https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=103602. So if you 
are interested in extending the Area tab to these objects, please have a 
look and comment.

Kind regards
Regina
