[Bf-funboard] Rotoscoping, image-planes or background

[Fabrizio Cali]

I agree. A possible option would be to add a new option in the per object 
drop-down view mode which could be called 'viewport' - ie renders object
in viewport according to current viewport draw mode. All other settings
have over-ride status over 'viewport' settings - whether wire or shaded.
