Thanks for that. I have tried OpenOffice Draw, exporting to SVG, but Gimp doesn't like the result (it complains that no image size is specified.)

In practiavl terms, do I need a border around the border-line I am drawing, so that I must make the target are a little larger to accomodate the border, or can I drwa to the edge of the image area? Does this depend on the tool?

SVG images work nicely as background images. Just use a tool like Adobe
Illustrator, CorelDraw or even Inkscape to create the SVG with a rounded
rectangle. The only problem is that you need to know the exact size of
the rectangle beforehand as you can't scale background images. Some
manual tweaking of the SVG might even get you some more flexibility so
that you could simply reuse the SVG by only having to adjust the size of
the image.

I need to draw a rounded rectangle around an area on a document. Setting the background-image property seems to be the way to go. What tools are best for generating the image? Background-image limits me pretty severely in what I can specify.
