I found that if I segment my objects with black background checkbox enabled,
then MTrack2 will fail, since it assumes that the objects are black. (Thanks to
the author Nico Stuurman for helping me to find the problem).
Nico noted that MTrack2 uses ImageJ's particle recognition functions, and
suggested that I ask the mailing list if it is possible to make them recognize
white particles on a black background.

It is not a critical thing, because I can always invert my segmented images to
present black objects (and I can probably use an inverting LUT if it really
bothers me), but I was wondering if this behavior is selectable as an option.

I tried setting white as foreground and black as background in
edit>options>colors...  but that does not seem to do it.
