It is not possible. If repeating, the background-position directive
only controls the point at which the image will start. If you need the
background image to start 178px from the top, you'll have to use a
second container element. I believe there are some more advanced
background directives in the CSS spec, but don't expect IE to jump on
that bandwagon any time soon.
