Localised pixmaps



Hi all
 
Although good internationalisation guidelines would dicatate that creating localisable icons/pixmaps is a bad practice, there are occasions when it might be required.  Apart from the use of SVG's or the overlaying of text from a message file onto a graphic at run time, are there any recommendations on how to manage localised graphics within a Gnome application? 
 
Specifically, where do "best practices" say they should reside on the file system?  /usr/share/pixmaps/<lang> or /usr/share/locale/<lang>/pixmaps? 
I am aware of the $XBM... environment variables,  but are you folks doing anything different?
 
Many thanks
Steve
