I have been using the background on html for some time on various sites
because of this problem. I don't know if standards allows it but it
works in all browsers.

Hi ,
I found my IE7 will show the bug on its first load, but any refresh
afterwards will load with the body/colour covering the entire window.
(covering the window with another window will also remove the
whitespace.)
A quick check with the IE7 developer toolbar shows the <body>
stretching only as far as the content.
If would suggest setting a background colour for the <html>.
btw the toolbar declares <body> hasLayout = -1

Couldn't see this issue on my IE7 too (are you using a beta?). Thierry
is right, the element needs to be given layout.
