try (untested):

  def createMemberarea(self, member_id):
      """
      create a member area
      """
      # call original 'createMemberarea' method
      MembershipTool.createMemberarea(member_id)   # <-----------------

      parent = self.aq_inner.aq_parent
      members =  getattr(parent, 'Members', None)
      # etc. (unchanged)

This calls the orginal 'createMembershiparea' method instanating the 
'index_html' portal document object before instanating your own objects.

That's right, I personaly didn't want to have an index_html in the directory.

Have a look to the source of 'createMemberarea()' 
in /Products/CMFDefault/MembershipTool.py.
Copy the folling code and embed your image using '<img src="pic.gif" />' in 
the 'default_member_content' text definition (untested):

      # Create Member's home page.
      # default_member_content ought to be configurable per
      # instance of MembershipTool.
      Document.addDocument( f
                          , 'index_html'
                          , member_id+"'s Home"
                          , member_id+"'s front page"
                          , "structured-text"
                          , (default_member_content % id)
                          )
      # give the image the correct portal type
      ob = f._getOb( 'org_logo' )
      if hasattr(ob, '_setPortalTypeName'):
          ob._setPortalTypeName('Document')
      # Overcome an apparent catalog bug.
      f.index_html.reindexObject()

where 'default_member_content' is a string variable to be defined in the
hotfix file. The original text is:

  default_member_content = '''Default page for %s

  This is the default document created for you when 
  you joined this community.

  To change the content just select "Edit"
  in the Tool Box on the left.
  '''

Ok?

Greg
