I just wrote the FAQ item yesterday, so I haven't a chance to explore a lot of different options.
If you want to go the absolute path way, you could also use an external script that does some text processing (perl, python, sed) to substitute variables into your css from before deploying it. Another way to solve this is to use the Stylesheet Injector (currently in the incubator) and processing the stylesheet text and doing some substitution with _IG_GetCachedUrl(). I would appreciate feedback on these or other options for making stylesheets work better with gadgets. This is a place where GWT could add a lot of value.
