Thanks Rex!  I did not notice my icons and mime types associations were
being set on rpmbuild.  Now I have my application associated with my custom
mime-type using scriptlets.

However, I am not clear on how I am supposed to associate files with my
mime-type with a custom icon.

xdg-icon-resource made it pretty simple to associate an icon with a
mimetype, but if I am reading
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/ScriptletSnippets#Icon_Cachecorrectly,
I need to create an icon for every theme?  Is there a preferred
way to just set a custom icon for all themes?
