This problem is pretty well known, Henrik is working on it, and we will be 
working on fixing the links soon (job for wiki team? ;). Currently our idea 
is to have all Icons in http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Icons and all screenshots and 
other images, which are more likely to be page specific, as attachments on 
the relevant page.
