Page is a not externally linkable

Aligning a body background image to the page elements with pixel perfect precision is often a gamble, cross-browser. It doesn't matter whether you call the background image with CSS or use the old-school <body> tag method. It's the page itself that can shift, not the background image. Problems can come from the default margins and padding which various browsers assign to the block level elements. Unless you are meticulous at defining all these rules, surprises can creep in. Also, depending on the layout, variations in a browser's font rendering can push various elements a few pixels one way or another. That said, I'm not aware of a change in these areas for Opera 7. But I didn't get serious about designing for Opera until version 6. To resolve this problem, I think you may need to need to pull your layout apart to find where the problems get generated.
Interesting bug - I use O7 as my default and haven't run across it, but I'll keep my eyes open.
