>Description:
wbkgrnd() does wbkgrndset() and also should apply the new background
to existing contents of the window.  Ours doesn't.

>How-To-Repeat:
#define NCURSES_WIDECHAR 1      /* when compiling against ncurses */
#include <curses.h>

#include <err.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <unistd.h>


int
main()
{
    WINDOW *scrw = initscr();
    if (scrw == NULL)
        errx(EXIT_FAILURE, "initscr failed");

    mvaddstr(0, 0, "Hello world\n");
    refresh();
    sleep(1);

    cchar_t bg;
    wgetbkgrnd(stdscr, &bg);

    wchar_t bg_wch;
    attr_t bg_attr;
    short bg_color_pair;
    getcchar(&bg, &bg_wch, &bg_attr, &bg_color_pair, NULL);

    bg_wch = '-';
    setcchar(&bg, &bg_wch, bg_attr, bg_color_pair, NULL);

    bkgrnd(&bg);
    refresh();
    sleep(1);

    endwin();
    return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}

$ cc -o bkgrnd bkgrnd.c -lcurses
$ ./bkgrnd

Compare to devel/ncursesw

$ cc -o bkgrnd -I/usr/pkg/include/ncursesw -I/usr/pkg/include bkgrnd.c -L/usr/pkg/lib -Wl,--rpath=/usr/pkg/lib -lncursesw
$ ./bkgrnd


Ncurses fills the screen with minus signs as expected.


Note that old wbkgd() function does the right thing.
