Q: 

In Mono/Gnome, how can I look up the icon for a mime type?

Gnome.Icon and Gnome.ThumbnailFactory both want me to pass in a URI of a file whose icon I want -- I only have a MIME type, which I want to look up an icon for. Is there a GNOME C# API function which will give me what I want? Ideally the prototype would just be:

Gdk.Pixbuf LookupIcon (string mime_type);

+3  A: 

Here's MonoDevelop's code to do this:

Sorry if I'm being dense, but it appears that this code is looking up icons for particular files, rather than MIME types -- the question was about how to get an icon for a mime type even without a file.
