The Nautilus upstream broke the damn icons in the latest Ubuntu. I'm
quite cross with it. Do the icons work in file-choosers? If so, blame
Nautilus / Gnome. I have a patch to rebuild Nautilus with a different
(sensible) icon fallback order, I can send you it if you want. The
nautilus upstream didn't yet decide if it is right or not. They feel
that a super-generic icon (e.g. text/x-generic) from the current theme
might be better than a very specific icon in the hicolor fallback theme
(e.g. application/x-geda-schematic).
