The spec isn't entirely clear on what the name attribute should be, but in
the one example I've got on my system, it's a simple filename, not a full
path:

<icon name="qgis-mime-icon.png"/>

It's possible that the file manager keeps its own cache of Mime types, so
you might need to restart the file manager as well.

file works with a separate database of magic numbers that predates
shared-mime-info. To check with the xdg database, you can run:

xdg-mime query filetype myfile.mm
