GNOME Icons and MIME types

[Van_Gogh]

I posted this in desktop earlier, but received no help...Any takers?

Hi,

I program in Python, and to visually distinguish my Python files from my other text files, I'd like to have a seperate icon for the Python MIME type(text/x-python). Is that do-able?

The right-click-> properties -> Select custom icon seems to change the icon for ALL text files, which is not what I want.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Bump :)

Noone knows? Maybe it's simply a limitation of GNOME, and can't be done :-(

In Ubuntu 5.1 there was definitely he ability to associate a specific icon (gnome-mime-application-x-python-bytecode) to the *.pyc files and (gnome-mime-text-x-python) to the *.py files, while having no effect on other text files. I have copied the icons over from my previous Ubuntu 5.1 installation and the *.pyc files associated automatically, but so far I have had no luck with the *.py files.

If someone has an answer I would appreciate it.
