This *almost* works. I applied a background to the container div  
(that is repeat-x). The problem is that the div and the ul are 100%  
wide and don't shrink to fit the inline li elements. How might I go  
about doing that?

Or, perhaps someone knows of another way to get the left and right  
tab corners in?

Here's what I get now:

And what I'm aiming for:
