Steve, I don't know about FC3 but in FC2 one can set the default icon 
for file types as follows.

Red Hat icon --> Preferences --> File types and programs -->  "highlight 
file class" --> "highlight subclass" --> edit --> icon

This was a by product of explorations earlier today while trying to 
figure how to use the desktop icon placed on my desktop by the TurboTax 
installation program I ran under wine.

Hope this helps.
