In a default Ubuntu install (QGIS 1.8.0) no document icon is associated with the mimetype 'application/x-qgis-project'. As a consequence every saved QGIS document is interpreted by the OS as being a text or xml document and the icon displayed gives no indication it has anything to do with QGIS.

I've googled around and can't find anything; I could make an icon set myself but wanted to see if I'm just missing something before doing it..

On Ubuntu 11.10, this is the icon that is displayed after the default install:

So the icon has to be somewhere. Searching Github or asking the devs seem to be your options.

Ahh, it's called 'qgis-mime-icon.png' and it was installed with my default install, just not correctly associated for some reason. Thanks for the suggestion to look at github, which led me to it.. – Pete Nov 22 '12 at 20:15
