There is no real fix for this or positioning those background image, using the Microsoft AlphaImageLoader. You can "fake" some x or y repeats, but what the AlphaImageLoader actually does is stretch the image, not repeat it. So, this doesn't work in many cases. But check back. I will post some nifty tricks to work around these short comings soon.
