When I visit a few sites like geeks.com and elivecd.com, the background - instead of being the website's normal background - is a tile of a portion of the screen.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Visit site in question (possibly just on Ubuntu)
2. Finish page load
Actual Results:  
Corrupted background

Expected Results:  
Normal background

Using Ubuntu Hardy Heron (with latest updates)
Version: unspecified → Trunk
Same problem on a dual-head amd64 gentoo box with firefox 3.0-rc1. I have current contents of the second screen rendered in the firefox window in place of the background image. 

The bug is reproducible using the following html code:

<html>
<head>
<body background="http://geeks.com/images/bg_body.gif">
</body>
</html>

I suspect this is related to bug #441369; please see my comment there for more detail (and more some testcases and outright speculation).

After some suggestions in #441369, this turns out to actually be a dupe of bug #411831, and the root cause is an X server bug; turning on XAANoOffscreenPixmaps in xorg.conf (or upgrading to a newer X server where it's off by default) fixes the problem.
Yes, indeed. Those instructions were helpful. Thank you.
Duping this to Bug #411831 as per comment #4.
