Thank you for your post, it inspired me to finish a half-written page on
this very topic:
http://nrkn.com/backgroundWidth/
My personal favourite way to do it is to fade the image to a background
colour:

I've used your image as the example for now, but I will have to re-do the
examples in future using images more suited to each particular technique.
Greg N., I have linked to one of your pages as you have a much better
example of one of the techniques there than I do.
