The DocBook pages already have graphics in them for admonitions (stuff
like "Note" and "Warning").  They're actually provided by Norm Walsh's
stylesheets, which the Yelp stylesheets import.  One of my goals for 2.6
is to make these images themeable.  Also, I have every intention of
using highlight colors for things like table headers in 2.6, which I'll
also find a means of making themeable.  It will probably take a good
chunk of code in Yelp on top of gtkhtml.

Thus, don't worry about whether these images are themeable.  They will
be.  Yelp needs some serious prettification.  I have no graphics skills
at all.  Seriously.  I once managed to make a pretty nice scale image of
a black pixel.  That's about it.  Help from a talented GIMPer would be
very appreciated.
