I'm in the process of making myself understand how it works for a client.

Typically, I declare all the background values with since the solo <code>background</code> property: <code>background: #fff url(/images/bg.big) top left no-repeat;</code> I don't think I've ever actually declared <code>background-position</code> on it's own. As far as "seldom used" CSS properties - for me - there's a fine line between neglecting a property "out of forgetfullness," and neglecting a property "out of misunderstanding." In other words, I don't use some properties because some are a little more tricky than others. Such as <code>clear</code>. All in all, I have to say I don't use <code>display</code> as often as I would like. You talkin’ about top left no-repeat type of thing?

Such as clear.

All in all, I have to say I don’t use display as often as I would like.
