Right. It appears what I'm looking for is a property for TextView in 
style.conf that doesn't exist, or at least is not a 'known property' 
according to this page on the Zim mailing list...

http://zim-wiki.org/manual/Help/Config_Files.html

I tried on the off-chance specifying colour here using both 'background' 
and 'bgcolor' tags without any luck. Alternately, it would be possible 
to change background colour in all Zim notebooks using the GTK style 
options, but that isn't much use to me.

The search continues. Is it worth filing a feature request at this point?
