cd /usr/local/share/icons; find / \( -name \*.gif -o name \*.jpeg -o -name \*.jpg -o -name \*.tif -o -name \*.tiff \) -a -type f | xargs -i ln -s \{\} .

This assumes that all graphics file names are unique, that you have read

does not have the above mentioned extensions (otherwise you will need
to use /usr/bin/file as a fall-back).
