I think I missing something here, in the following example I expect the
2nd page (and any subsequent page) not to have a background, but that is
not what I get. I tried every combination of state=start|stop|repeat,
but nothing seem to change at all.

\setupcolors[state=start]
\setupbackgrounds[page][background=color,backgroundcolor=lightgray]

\starttext
\setupbackgrounds[page][state=start]
\input tufte
\page
\setupbackgrounds[page][state=stop]
\input tufte
\stoptext

Regards,
 Khaled
