Incidentally something similar, i.e. automatically combining the sheet 
of paper with the application icon to build the corresponding mime 
icon, is just being discussed on kde-artists (or was it kde-artwork). 
So far most artists seem to be against this for various reason 
(difficult configurability, suboptimal icons, etc.).

The artists can be reached via kde-artists (?).
