I would suggest pixmap-textures or the like; it's more descriptive
than just textures, and twm-xxx isn't really accurate, since they are
useful for many other packages.

fvwm2, ctwm, afterstep, wmaker, fvwm95, and sccwm as far as I know and
can see in the packages list.

I would think they should go in /usr/include/X11/{pixmaps,bitmaps}
with all the rest, maybe prepending texture- if there's a potential
for name conflict.
