I think you guys are over analyzing the problem

You can use relative urls in css

Just look at
http://www.djangoproject.com/m/css/base.css

Assuming this layout under STATIC_URL
{{STATIC_URL}}
css/screen.css
images/header.gif

Just use a relative path in screen.css
#container-head {
background: transparent url('../images/header.gif') 50% 0 no-repeat;
}
