Google chrome a:visited background image not working

Question

(before I start I should say yes, I have done all the stupidity checks, yes the link is in my history and has been visited etc)

I\'m using Chrome version 6.0.472.63,

Answer 1

Chrome appears to have disabled css for :visited ( except for color ).

This would be to prevent the history sniffing exploit.
