[themes] D7 adding a themed item to a region

[Jeff Greenberg]

I have two isdues doing that. If I print from the preprocess or process function, the image appears but its html appears before the section tag for that region instead of inside it. 

Also, if I add the themed image variable to $vars, it isn't available in the page template.
