What about moving the standalone Gnus to do the same thing?

I'd actually go farther and put _all_ images in something like
`etc/images/' (with further subdirs like `etc/images/gnus/' etc).
In the past I've always found finding image files for a package, or
alternatively, finding which package uses a particular image file, very
annoying because of the current randomness.

Hmmm, indeed I don't...
