The way to handle this is to keep items shared among all accounts in 
the... wait for it... Shared folder. For instance, to prevent 
duplication of music files, make a new "Music" folder in 
/Users/Shared/, and have each user move their music files to that 
folder, and change their iTunes music folder location to it (Advanced 
pane in Preferences). Likewise, have each user place pictures and any 
other items to be shared in /Users/Shared/.

Additionally, each user has a Public folder. If they want to share an 
item, yet keep others from changing it (i.e., give others read-only 
access), they can put it in the Public folder.
