 This is basicly unchanged then...  the image names don't have the %s
 in them anymore, but there are still two separate variables like
 that, and I did not do anything to the code that uses the names
 generated by setup_image_filenames().  So without going in for a look
 before I email this, I'd say it will still work the way you designed
 it.  I hope I'm right.
