setupbackgrounds?

[Hans van der Meer <hansm@science.uva.nl>]

I cannot get backgrounds to work as I understand from the manual.

This example is from the manual:
\setupcolors[state=start]
\setupinteraction[state=start] % don't if needed, manual p. 122 seems  
to suggest it
\setupbackgrounds[header,text,footer][text] 
[background=color,backgroundcolor=darkcyan]
\showframe

This does not show coloring of the indicated area. It colors only  
when the first option is [page] or [paper] and then it colors the  
whole page. So I never get coloring in the indicated parts.

The other example is from cont-new.tex:
%\defineoverlay[Draft][{\scale[factor=max]{\rotate[rotation=90]{~MY|| 
DRAFT~}}}]
\setupbackgrounds[page][background=Draft]

This also seems to work for [page] only. But I want the text in one  
of the edges or in the margin, not smack in the middle of the page.

I am doing something wrong in not getting the finetuning per area as  
the manual seems to promise? What am I missing here?
