Since the original problem was that "In version 4.1 there is no
/media/bullets folder so bullet lists are not rendered correctly
(empty images of no defined size appear before each list item)," this
problem can be fixed by creating a symlink to the /new location/ of
the media directory:

cd public_html (or whatever...)
ln -s typo3/sysext/cms/tslib/media media

However, I'd say Dmitry's solution is the better one (since it doesn't
rely on superfluous images).
