Gnome Icons/mimetypes Go Bye Bye

[Andy Choens]

Well, I don't know what happened, but I did get it to work.  I'll answer
my own question in case anyone ever browses the archives.

I refreshed all of the gnome rpms that had anything to do with mime info
or icons.  Restarted the X Server and for some reason it is now fine. 
It doesn't make any sense to me, but I'm not arguing.
