Thanks to all for weighing-in on this one and appreciate the side-notes on 1px tall vs. 2px or more tall tiling background images.
Unfortunate that we can't determine a vertical start-point for a tiling image but I've learned something new. Thanks again to everyone.

By the way, asking the browser to replicate a 1px-thick image will occupy a lot more CPU cycles than if you dimension your image to be fatter and replicate, for example, one that's 50px or 100px thick. In my experience the difference can be large enough to be perceptible by a human being, i.e. a significant fraction of a second or more for a large screen. Generating a fatter background image can therefore be seen as "pre-processing" with significant savings in real time.
