Have you considered simply displaying the mark images on top of each other in this cases?
Currently the images are single color (vectors), so rendering them on top of each other would probably not work without doing some sort of outline effect.
I have this vague idea of using a thin, colored line for SCM status (e.g. green for added, orange for changed) – if those images were built to show the line at the very left (or right) edge of the gutter, combining them with other mark images could work quite well.
Could also place the marks on the line numbers or maybe give them its own column, since we only need 3×3 points to render a plus sign. Main concern is to not making the marks API too complex or hardcoded.
