RE: [Pythoncard-users] Playing with pythoncard_user_config.py

The attribute is 'defaultBackgroundPosition'.

Mine is set as
'defaultBackgroundPosition':(5, 5),

The relevant code is around line 668 of model.py

        # override for application defined position
        position = config.getOption('defaultBackgroundPosition')
        if position is None:
            position = aBgRsrc.position

I think this has always been a manual option that you had to add yourself,
otherwise whatever default we provided would always end up overriding the
position defined in a sample.
