Prepending mime: is rather redundant, and : in filenames is not really
the best thing to do, in terms of making things easier for artists to
make themes, and portability to other potential filesystems. Thus, the
choice for the Icon Naming Spec was to use simply the mime type, with
the slash character converted to a hyphen.
