Hi Wolfgang,

sorry, no to your questions but the following setup works:

\setupTABLE[row][odd][background=color,backgroundcolor=lightgray]
\setupTABLE[width=.2\textwidth]

why do you repeat the setup command for every table, the first one is
global and should work for every table in your document, unless you
make a setup local within a group or a float.
