Try with the new geda.xml file. I've checked how other programs I have
installed define their mimetypes defined and made our mimetypes a
subclass of "text/plain". I think this should fix your problem.

Icons are a bit tricky. I am not sure how an application can install an
icon for its mimetype in a way that works system-wide with both GNOME
and KDE.

On GNOME I have the Tango icon set
(http://art.gnome.org/themes/icon/1150) installed. I have just copied
the icons into ~/.icons/Tango and made symbolic links. Like this:

avian@orion:~/.icons/Tango/scalable/mimetypes$ ls -la *geda*
application-x-geda-schematic.svg
application-x-geda-symbol.svg
gnome-mime-application-x-geda-schematic.svg ->
application-x-geda-schematic.svg
gnome-mime-application-x-geda-symbol.svg -> application-x-geda-symbol.svg

(you can get scalable versions from here:
