Perhaps this is a tangent, but would it be better to be able to associate
an emblem to be centered on a generic icon with a mime-type as an alternative
to associating the type with a whole icon. This way you could associate a
musical note with "audio/*" and have that composited with the generic document
icon for a particular theme. You could then define emblems for directories
with particular names.

I'm not 100% sure that you would want to mix this with the mime code though...
