The backpattern is set to the ID of a hidden, imported image. It 
displays okay in Rev's IDE. Compiling with the MC IDE works to make 
standalones for all platforms. I tried creating a Rev distribution using 
both Windows and Mac OS X and in both platforms the backpattern was removed.

Something in the DB removed it, since the MC standalone maker worked. It 
didn't matter whether the default colors checkbox was on or off, I 
always got the system backcolor in the standalone and no pattern. This 
would be a good thing to double-check in your new DB.
