To draw a picture, basically the following should, IMHO, just work:

icon = gnome_vfs_mime_application_get_icon(...);
image = gtk_image_new_from_icon_name(icon, GTK_ICON_SIZE_MENU);

But if I've understood it correctly that can fail because 'icon' is an
absolute filename or includes an extension.  IMHO it's not the
application's responsibility to start interpreting the return value.
