Umbraco Version: 4.0.2.1 ASP.NET Version: 3.5 Windows Server 2008 Standard IIS 7
Issue
I just developed a new website in Umbraco and whenever I navigate to a different page on the site the page background flickers briefly before loading the page. This only happens in IE (I've tested in 6, 7, and 8). Firefox, Chrome, and Opera do not have this issue. On the computers I've tested on, the flicker is brief and not terribly annoying. My boss is running IE8 on Windows 7 and the flicker lasts for 1 or 2 seconds and is very noticeable.
I don't think it is a problem with the CMS since www.umbraco.org does not have this issue. I'm just wondering if anyone else has had this happen and if they were able to fix it?
True this does not have anything to do with Umbraco itself. Most likely it's related to your html markup and/or css or the size of the background you are loading.
Does your website validate as valid html? http://validator.w3c.org? Also you can have a look and inspect your site using the firebug plugin in firefox to figure out where you issue lies.
Ah, the old background image flicker bug. Here's an interesting write-up: http://www.fivesevensix.com/studies/ie6flicker/ Your fix works but it's a meta tag for IE only; there's probably better ways to tackle this (as described in the article and elsewhere)

Can you provide a link to this specific website?

I found a fix for it. I added <meta http-equiv="Page-Exit" content="Alpha(opacity=100)"/> to the <head> area.
