On the layer menu double click the padlock sign to unlock the layer or drag down the padlock icon to recycle bin below the layer.

just click ALT+SHIFT+CTRL+K and than go to LAYERS menu. Click the BACKGROUD, and type your shortcut. (I gave it CTRL+ALT+SHIFT+B) and than ACCEPT and OK.

I also use ‘alt + double-click’ to do it too. This just unlocks it without giving you the dialogue box to rename it. If, however, you do want to rename the background layer, then just plain double-clicking will be the faster option.
