I had doubts on this, and as I couldn't see the results of my change...

IIUC, you mean there's absolutely no way to do what I'd like to have?

Except, for example, setting a background if `org-agenda-structure' does
not have one already?  Not of much use, though.

What a pity.

Can't I add a face (should be easy, like above), and get mine applied
"above" `org-agenda-structure'?

Best regards,
