I have upgraded to Karmic 9.10 and noticed that my icons for blend file type is blank. That is for the Blender 3d modeling program. How do I reassign the icon for this type.
so far I tried
sudo gedit /etc/mime.types
then added
model/blend blend
and saved
to set up a new mime.type for blend
and put a model-blend.svg in the /usr/share/icons/gnome/scalable/mimetypes folder. didn't work.
any ideas?

Thanks Amix that worked sort of. Here is what I did to fix this.
I downloaded assogiate using the software center
then I launched it (file type manager) and used the search to find blender.
I edited the blender file type and changed the default icon
This did not work.
So then I added a new blend type set up exactly like the old one and chose the new icon.
model/blend
with the associations of
*.blend*
*.BLEND*
*.blender*
you need the following asterisk because blender adds a number after .blend to show older versions of a file.
now I quit and then went to a blend file and right clicked > properties and deleted the file associations.
Then I closed that out and right clicked > Open with other application and typed blender -w in as the command.
Now everything works great!
