This seems to only happen in quirks mode.  Attaching quirks and strict mode
testcases -- in strict mode the background is properly inherited.

Tested with build 2001-03-06-08 on Linux with Viewmanager 3.

I should point out that NS 4.76 will display this as Mozilla does in strict
mode.  So quirks mode is wrong here.

Marking duplicate of "Table background color is incorrect" which has an analysis
of what's going wrong here.
