Comment 3 for bug 278113

No, this is a completely different bug. Bug #217997 is about mimetype icons in the hicolor theme. This one is about generic mimetype icons from the theme overriding specific icons in the SAME theme! I.e. I have both application-x-rar.svg and package-x-generic.svg in the SAME theme (not in hicolor), but for files that have the mimetype application/x-rar, the icon for package-x-generic,svg is shown instead of application-x-rar.svg.

I have commented on the linked bug before I reported this one so I am well aware of it, and I'm still certain this is a different bug, and it was certainly not present in Hardy, because the icons were showing up correctly before the upgrade to Intrepid Beta.
