Just off the top of my head: (And not that I'd know about window manager
support, but..)
/usr/share/images/icons (small images meant as window decoration,
desktop-style icons, or button bitmaps)
/usr/share/images/backgrounds (possibly larger images meant as window or
desktop background, etc.)
Probably not the best thing in the world, and people would be free to put
things in /usr/share/images, but the idea's there.
