It's still not tiling well, but I left it there so you could see it.  It's a 
background I originally made that goes in a space that's only as high in 
pixels as the background is.  :(  So it works on my website where I've used 
it.  :)  Part of it is tiling nicely, though.  The part right in the middle.  
But you can see where the seems are on the outer edges.  It does look like 
the GIMP made it seemless like it was supposed to, though.  :)  You can also 
see if it will look good when it finally tiles well or if we should just drop 
it and use a solid background until someone comes along that can just make a 
killer pic to use.

I changed the font-family to Arial, Helvetica.  I couldn't think of a good 
third fallback and decided to just let the browser pick it.  Most machines 
have either Arial or Helvetica, though.  Arial ships with Windows and 
Helvetica is part of the base XFree86 distribution, I believe.  So give it a 
look now and if it's still not right we'll play with sizes a little.  ;)
