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

The layout engine of 0.90alpha1 works differently. It's a bit difficult to compare the two versions. But I'd have to say the same optimization is currently not possible in 0.90/Trunk unless we extend the breaking algorithm to support a first/best fit strategy so the objects can be released early
