In this case it's necessary to use a construct like this:

	\colorbox{lightgray}{
	 \begin{minipage}{\linewidth-3\fboxsep}	% approximation, 2 \fboxsep  
at least because of surrounding background around the mini page
	   paragraph
	 \end{minipage}
	}

The boxitpara environment does not work with recent versions of  
XeTeX. In SVN versions are available that support PSTricks with  
xdvipdfmx as output driver.
