In the old thread i gave the adress to some codesnippets in python.
One of them did a call to GTK to get the system-icons for the filetype.
https://vcs.maemo.org/svn/pymaemo/ww..._mime_icons.py
(However, that program couldnt run)


But at http://developer.gnome.org/ i found some other maybe more useful functions like gtk.icontheme.load.icon()
