FWIW, the only time the control emits table markup is if the FillColorBegin
and FillColorEnd properties aren't the same--IOW a gradient is called for,
such as in this particular example. And that's only because I'm pretty sure
it's not possible to stretch a background image--but I could be wrong.
If there's no background image there's no need for a fixed height and
therefore no need for a table.
Maybe I should be asking instead if there's a way to stretch a background
image?

Yep, spotted that one already. Same considerations as above apply.
I may end up having to just warn users of the control about the design
issues associated with setting a gradient fill, although I hope it doesn't
come to that last resort.
