A minor addition:
You need to use an absolute path for images in
your 404 document because relative paths are interpreted relative
to the bad url rather than to the path of the 404 document.

Example:
www.246.dk/somepagethatisnotthere.html
displayed a nice 404 document with images intact
www.246.dk/blah/blah/blah/blah/
displayed the 404 document but with "broken image" icons

(And I changed it to use absolute path so both examples should
look fine now :-)

Of course another solution is to just avoid images at all.
