Not entirly true. I've got what the OP dscribes to work without
cookies or passing in the url.
I've only tested it in mozilla 1.4 and I wouldn't like to comment on
the 'goodness' of the method though
I found part of the answer here -

If you use the [depricated] background attribute of the body tag to
specify the image you can change/reference it with javascript. (I
can't get it to work with body background images defined with css
though.)
In the opened window call the following line of javascript with an
onload on the body tag
document.body.background=opener.document.body.background

Not sure I see the point of doing this.
Why not just set up the background-image property in a stylesheet like...
body { background-image:URL("bg1.gif"); }
body.specific { background-image:URL("bg2.gif"); }
Then refer to that from your web pages
<body class="specific"> which will pick up the bg2.gif background.
<body> will pick up the bg1.gif background.
I can see no conceivable purpose for inheriting the background from the
previous page, just use CSS.

What you have done is open a new window and accessed the opener's background attribute. This is "inheriting"
the background image from a previous page. If that is what what the OP meant by "parent" page then sure, he
could jury rig the setup like this:
In Internet Explorer use:
<style type="text/css">
body { background-image:URL("3dblocks.gif"); }
</style>
<body>
<script type="text/javascript">
var w = window.open('about:blank');
w.document.body.style.backgroundImage = document.body.currentStyle.backgroundImage;
</script>
And in Mozilla you would use:
w.document.body.style.backgroundImage = document.defaultView.getComputedStyle(document.body,
"").backgroundImage;
Note that on a web site, both pages would have to come from the same domain for this to work, you can't
specify the backgroundImage for a page loaded in a new window which isn't from your domain.
Of course, the standard way to handle this is define the background image in one place, then specify:
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/path/to/file.css" />
