The background-clip css property doesn't allow you specify an actual
height and width. It only lets you set it to either border-box,
padding-box, content-box, or no-clip. Those settings won't do us any
good, since the content of the elements is making it taller than the
space between the sprites, and the background-clip won't let you clip
an area smaller than the content-box.
