Feel free. However I do not have a good idea yet, how to add this to the 
custom shape properties without breaking backward compatibility. The "draw 
background" option is already used there to decide about 'normal' filling.

I don't think so after briefly looking at the source 
(objects/custom/custom_object.c). The user editable text in custom shapes 
is rendered independently of subshapes.

A shape design without <textbox resize="no"/> seems to be the best option, 
but that would probably give you more background than you want ...
