i think the gradient tool would work equally well if
the swatches were named "left" -> "right".
When i want a red->yellow gradient on a blue background,
i even have to override my background color.

I'd like to add that a 'background' can only be defined in
artistic terms. (I learned that when 'foreground select' tool
came along: "i already have a fg color, what's that for?!?"...)

total agreement here (leaving the PNG corner case aside)
