Well, the email is quite old, but I will answer anyway (have just found 
this mail while searching for sth else)
The GMENU has a useful property named altImgResource.
A menu an a site I have done:
--------------
# The menu:
temp.menu = HMENU
temp.menu.1 = GMENU

temp.menu.1.NO {
   altImgResource.import = uploads/media/
   altImgResource.import.field = media
   altImgResource.import.listNum = 0
   # wrap
   wrap = |<br />

   # fall back GIFBUILDER item, if no result from altImgResource:
   XY = [4.w], [4.h]
   backColor = silver

   4 = IMAGE
   4.file = fileadmin/template/images/button.gif
   10 = TEXT
   10.text.field = nav_title // title
   10.offset = 30,19
   10.fontSize= 11
   10.fontColor = white
}
temp.menu.1.RO < temp.menu.1.NO
temp.menu.1.RO = 1

temp.menu.1.RO.altImgResource.import.listNum = 1
temp.menu.1.RO {
  4.file = fileadmin/template/images/button_over.gif
}

temp.menu.1.CUR < temp.menu.1.NO
temp.menu.1.CUR = 1
temp.menu.1.CUR.altImgResource.import.listNum = 2
temp.menu.1.CUR {
   4.file = fileadmin/template/images/button_active.gif
   10.fontColor = #5271a1
}
----------
than you can just attach 3 files to the page-record (type set to 
Advanced), which will than be used for the three menu-states.
If no image is attached, the menu will fall back to generated images.
