You have three options (maybe more...I'm sure someone will suggest some 
else):

    1) have Seaside read the serve the image, in the case of static 
resources a bad idea
    2) have Kom serve the image, a little better than the previous but 
makes your server sluggish for large images
    3) have another web server around serving your static images

I use 3 since I've always got Apache running somewhere:

background-image: url("' self class staticImageBase , '/background.png");

where self class staticImageBase answers an absolute URL like 
'http://www.cdshaffer.com/someapp/images'



If you choose to go with 2, just to avoid having a second server then 
you can hunt around for help on how to configure Kom to serve Seaside 
and a ModFile using the "ModuleAssembly" class as your plug.  I have the 
code around somewhere if you need it.
