The Netvibes content boxes use background images. The trick is that they use several -- one for the top shaded area and box bounding (no- repeat), one for the bottom (no-repeat again, and includes the drop shadow), and one for the box "body" (repeat-y). If the boxes/panels are fixed width, it's easy. If you want to make the components width- resizable, then you need to include styling-only elements (that is, elements with no semantic significance that only exist so they can contain background images).
