Nice one (By visual review, I've not tested it).

There are also xdg-... utilities for installing icons, menus etc... I've
avoided them for now, as it seems they are far less common than just
dropping the icons in "the right place" (by some estimation of that
assertion), and running the gtk command to rebuild the icon cache. (Or
the mime-database update command etc..).
