Win98se with firefox 2.something.
I don't think this is a OS/browser dependent problem.
It's just that I use a nonwhite background for my window panes in 
Windows.
In Linux, using Konqueror or mozilla I get a white background because I 
did not bother to change the default background there.

(This is a common mistake I've found on several websites. I guess it's 
due to the fact that developers are keen to use a default white 
background for their environment, so they won't notice the missin html 
tag, or css line).

You might want to try to change the windows's background color in 
Windows display's properties (I guess win2k will behave in the same way 
win98 does).

Here's what I see:
