Nevermind... not an easy fix.
I was able to get rid of the white box by googling bg4all and installing the cab I found, but still had the wallpaper issue and wouldn't have the curtain when you changed from tab to tab. It also hosed the compactManila alignment at the top by adding titles back into the tabs.
I'll probably just cook a ROM with several fixes, then have four different ROMS:
1. BlackwoodPanoUS
2. BlackwoodPanoGlobal
3. BlackwoodBGallUS
4. BlackwoodBGallGlobal
It'll take time. May be a couple days.
