If it's a background image specified via CSS, then it should only be a
decoration, not an essential design element, so why would they need to
know about it? From what I've seen in "regular" browsers (IE5.5, NS6),
when a background image is specified only in CSS, and not as an actual
HTML element (img, body background), you can't get properties for the
image via the right-click context menu.
