No, this is a special case for favicon.ico and robots.txt
By "root_static" (which I agree is a little confusing), we mean static files
like favicon.ico that are always accessed in the server root. This is simply a
list of those files (and the default list should normally be all you need) that
tells web2py which application's static directory to fetch the files from.

What are the actual URLs for the images in question? As they appear in the page
source at the browser, I mean.
