The problem is that the Oxygen theme that ships with KDE4 has different 
names for the icon names than the themes that ship with KDE3.

You can change the MIME type icons used for an individual user account 
by using the Control Center:

	KDE Components -> File Associations

Unfortunately, there is no GUI provided to change the global settings. 
I regard this as a bug.  If you want to change the global settings, you 
will have to edit the files like you did previously.
