pagecolor attribute is interpreted differently in 1.2 (vs older versions) creating a minor discrepancy

Summary:

In 1.2-dev pagecolor affects the color of the page(s) of a document; In older versions, changing the attribute changed the color of the entire canvas (beyond the boundary). Opening a file with non-white page color gives (visually) different results in 1.2 and older versions.

Steps to reproduce:

• open Inkscape 1.1.1
• Change page color
• save document as an Inkscape svg
• Reopen file in 1.2-dev

What happened?

• Page color is applied only within the page

What should have happened?

• Perhaps inkscape:deskcolor should have been set to page color? (I am not really sure here 😅)
