Hello,
A similar problem like this I was able to solve without adding any new css class/id's to the menu system; but it was a pain. Basically if you define a bg image for the top level, but dont want it on the subsequent ones, you can do this by assigning the bg image to the first level, and then adding the necessary li or ul tags to the subsequent levels and explicitly remove it. It's really poor css in terms of clarity, but it does work.
example: [i am using tags/terms that probably do not occur in the menu]
#mycutemenu li.active { background:url('../img/something.jpg'); }
#mycutemenu li li.active { background:none; }
#mycutemenu li li li.active { background:none; }
so it's a hack, but it may help you! hope so,
good luck,
sebastian.

Excuse me Jason,
This particular task is quite difficult and have known many themers who have had an exceptionally hard time doing the very task about which I am asking. The Nice Menu project page http://drupal.org/project/nice_menus itself specifically referred me to this mailing list to ask questions about theming Nice Menus. If you have a problem with that referral, you should directly take it up with Addison Berry; otherwise, I would suggest filtering these "exceedingly stupid" questions yourself.
Good day.
