Well, configure[.in] asks pkg-config about gnome's `prefix' folder:

<snip>
GNOME_ICON_DIR=`$PKG_CONFIG --variable=prefix  
libgnomeui-2.0`/share/icons/gnome
</snip>

The additional mime type icons *must* be installed in this folder, as the  
search paths are hardcoded in libgnome[ui]. I also have my Gnome 2.8.2  
build living in /opt/gnome-2.8, and in the Makefile it reads

<snip>
GNOME_ICON_DIR = /opt/gnome-2.8/share/icons/gnome
</snip>

Are you sure pkg-config searched the right lib/pkgconfig folder first? I  
use the environment setting

<snip>
PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/opt/gnome-2.8/lib/pkgconfig:$PKG_CONFIG_PATH
</snip>

to this end.

Hope this helps,

Albrecht.
