file associations icons--Solution found

[António Rodrigues Tomé]

After reading too many documents in the internet I've found a workable 
solution.  At least for my problem.

putting a banner-mimetype.sgvz on 
 /.kde4/share/icons/ICONTHEMENAME/scalable/mimetypes
directory seems to work quite well.

in my case ICONTHEMENAME was oxigen
the banner_mimetype.sgvz name is better  explained with an example:

the mime type x-fortran  is under the banner text so the icon name is
text-x-fortran.svgz

the mime type msword is under the banner application so the icon name is
application-msword.svgz.

with so many default mime types icons still missing on oxigen it is really 
hard to work with dolfin but if one is able to add two or three of our most 
used mimetypes things are much more smoth.
