Erik seems to be talking about Nautilus style launcher icons rather than
minimized application icons. In that case he needs to check the freedesktop.org
mime spec and the icon spec too.

Good grief, Edscott. You really need to browse freedesktop.org sometime. There
are several standards that impact on the behavior of a filemanager. The
shared-mime-info spec is probably the most important.
