A fixed positioned image is always placed in reference to the
*viewport* (that is: the window). The code given works perfectly fine
in Gecko 1.8 and Gecko 1.9 (Fx 2 and Fx3 rc), Opera, WebKit (Safari) -
and IE 6, IE 7 [1].
The code above would fail, however, if you also put a background on
the root element (<html>).
If what you actually want is:put the image at the bottom of the window
if there is not much content, but at the bottom of the content if it
overflows the window (long page), then Georg's solution of using min-
height is the way to go.
