In order for that to work, you must have a MIME type.

So, first undo what you did. :-)

You need to install this file in: $KDEDIR/share/mimelnk/application/

x-scribus.desktop
------8<------8<------8<------8<------8<------8<------8<------8<------
[Desktop Entry]
Comment=Scribus Files
Hidden=false
Icon=/usr/share/scribus/icons/scribusdoc.png
MimeType=application/x-scribus
Patterns=*.sla;*.sla.gz;*.scd;*.scd.gz
Type=MimeType

------8<------8<------8<------8<------8<------8<------8<------8<------

with permissions root:root:644

{change the path to the icon if needed}.

Then run:

	kbuildsycoca

Then you should have the proper icon on a SLA file and can do it again and it 
should work.
