I am far away from being a Zope guru :). However I would
like to share my idea. Instead of creating an Images 
folder in every customization folder, create customization
folders in your top-level Images folder. So your directory
layout would be like this:

Top-level-folder
  Images
    logo.jpg
    example.jpg
    LookAndFeel1
      logo.jpg

Then reference your images with statments like:
Images/LookAndFeel1/logo.jpg and 
Images/LookAndFeel1/example.jpg.

Works? right? :)
