What I ended up doing is add an extra div. I did not want to clutter up my code, but I couldn't see any way around it. On the outside div I positioned a background image that is not wider than the div as normal. In the inner div I positioned the same image no-repeat top right. This is not the best solution as a user can make the text size so large that a gap appears between the images. Then I'm using the escape hack (I don't really like this type of hack) to tell every other browser to use the full size image on the outer div and no image on the inside div. Now I'm having a problem with background image filling all of the inner div. I sent an email message to Faruk. If he answers and has a solution it I will send it to you.

However, Faruk ran off and joined Apple and his blogging declined dramatically. The solution should be in the code of <a href="http://kurafire.net/" rel="nofollow">kurafire.net</a>. With the redesign of my blog and my new MacBook Pro with Safari 2 displaying the same problem, I will be looking for a solution myself. But that is still a couple of months away at least.
