I like the idea of inline image display too, but hit the similar
problems.  After reading the code in org.el, I found that the inline
image file link has to start with either "file:" or "./".

For example, the following two links are OK:

   [[file:~/images/myImage.png]]
   [[./figures/org-mode-unicorn.svg]]

but the following two are not:

   [[Screenshot.png]]
   [[~/images/myImage.png]]

Here is a small patch that seems to work well for me, but I'd like
Carsten to check whether it may break anything:
