From http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=116889:

"""
 ------- Additional Comment #7 From Thiago Macieira 2005-11-29 01:02 -------  
We can't add a new MIME type for KDE 3.5 now (message freeze & all). And since 
KDE 4 will feature the XDG MIME database, this is now out of our hands. 

Please make sure XDG has the proper MIME type.
"""

Seems like the issue is recognized, but it's not an icon issue.
XDG already has the proper MIME type, but KDE is not using it yet.
I think it still makes sense to add it, at least nothing speaks against that.

So... shall I commit?

(Besides, can a missing icon really be a problem for adding a mimetype?
I mean, we can just take the generic "source file" icon and do the icon later, 
which is imho better than not recognizing the file type or even recognizing 
it wrongly as another mimetype. Even the question mark icon would be
better than that, right?)

Have a very nice day!
