if your STATICFILES_DIRS tuple contains '/a/b/static/img' then it will work if you put foo.jpg into /a/b/static/img/foo.jpg and have STATIC_URL = '/static/'. STATIC_ROOT doesn't have something to do with that, it's used to collect static stuff like CSS files from your apps etc. I think if people would set STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(PROJECT_DIR, 'static_root') it would be less confusing to them anyway.
