Hi,
In  2008.08.18 14:00 MKIV the background color of sometxt is ignored. I 
used to use this trick to unfill the background while drawing a label, but 
it no longer works (It used to work a month ago).
Bug or feature?
\unprotected\definetextext[parbox]
   {\framed
     [     frame=off,
           width=2cm,
          height=.85cm,
       autowidth=no,
           align={middle,middle},
     background=color,
     backgroundcolor=white]}
\starttext
\startMPcode
draw (0,0) -- (3cm,3cm) ;
label(\sometxt[parbox]{ABC}, (1.5cm,1.5cm)) ;
\stopMPcode
\stoptext
well, white is not the best test example

\unprotected\definetextext[parbox]
    {\framed
      [     width=2cm,
           height=.85cm,
        autowidth=no,
            align={middle,middle},
      background=color,
      backgroundcolor=white]}

\startMPpage[background=color,backgroundcolor=red]
draw (0,0) -- (3cm,3cm) ;
label(\sometxt[parbox]{ABC}, (1.5cm,1.5cm)) ;
\stopMPpage

works ok here
