You can move utility windows (such as layers) into the toolbox window (below the toolbox itself) and use ctrl+b to bring it to top, at least in the 2.6 series. I think it could be done that way in 2.4 as well.
You can actually make columns with different backgrounds with css easily using borders and negative margins, but, as usual, there would have to be a special portion of CSS just for IE, because it counts width of an element differently (and not in a standards compliant way, I think). Gecko based browsers, Opera and Konqueror all diplay it fine, just as it is supposed to be according to CSS specs and as it would seem logical. Use of CSS would be much easier if IE would behave as it should. And instead of releasing a bunch of fixes, they are going to make a new version.

It's actually not very hard (rather easy, I'd say), unless you need the columns to be of equal height (e.g. because of the background,...)

Depends on the theme you choose, you know :)
