282548 - Implement Application Icon URL Properties for GTK

Status: NEW

(Firefox :: File Handling, defect)

Description

[Ben Goodger (use ben at mozilla dot org for email)]

bug 282196 implements two properties:

/** 
 * moz-icon URI for the default handler application's icon, if available.
 */
#define PROPERTY_DEFAULT_APP_ICON_URL "defaultApplicationIconURL"
/** 
 * moz-icon URI for the user's preferred handler application's icon, if 
 * available.
 */
#define PROPERTY_CUSTOM_APP_ICON_URL "customApplicationIconURL"

this calls for a GTK MIMEInfo Impl that retrieves these properties

Biesi, do you think you'll have time to do this?  If not, who's around who knows
the VFS stuff?

taking. should be doable with
http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/gnome-vfs-2.0/gnome-vfs-20-gnome-vfs-mime-database.html#gnome-vfs-mime-application-get-icon

it can just return a moz-icon uri like: moz-icon://stock/<icon>

well, it seems that contrary to the documentation that function is not available
in gnome-vfs 2.8, only in 2.10 which was released 4 days ago.
