OK.  I just took this one step further.  I noticed that in 
/etc/vim/vimrc there are a bunch of 'set foo=bar' statements.  I just 
threw 'set backgroud=dark' in there and then it just worked globally. 
You could probably also put it in your ~/.vimrc to effect the change on 
a per user basis, but I didn't try that.
