Are gif files supposed to repeat
when used as background images?
when used as background images?

Yes. The repeat is controlled by the CSS.
background: #fff url(img.gif) repeat;
or
background: #fff url(img.gif) no-repeat;
The former acts the same as
background: #fff url(img.gif);
repeat being default.
Same goes for jpgs and pngs and whatever there is browser support for.

background?
I happen to have one of those in an old experiment:

You can vary the repeats for none, just horiz or just vert.

The interesting thing about the dancer is that you can see her turning
either clockwise or anticlockwise, cf. Wittgenstein's duck/rabbit
still drawing.

Valentine I am afraid I would receive some beautiful raw Easter eggs

er... yes well... actually I am looking for something, perhaps a
little subtler - no offence cwdjrxyz - to send to the email address
of a special earthling friend said:Also one could add

No need for that, I have men all over the world that can do my
bidding- rememember, I organised the hunting down of the gang of thugs
that beat poor old Luigi (bless his soul) on the French-German border.
But don't worry, cwdjrxyz, I would not send you anything unpleasant, I
still recall you helping me out with some film I needed to get online
for a job ages ago.
