            Bug ID: 356972
           Summary: Cannot write a custom icon for a (perhaps new)
                    mimetype
           Product: frameworks-kiconthemes
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Compiled Sources
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: cf...@kde.org
          Reporter: lftab...@yahoo.es
                CC: kdelibs-b...@kde.org

If the folder 
.local/share/mime or .local/share/mime/packages
does not exists, the user cannot choose icon

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start with a new user and empty directory
2. Try to choose a custom icon for a mimetype, application-x-dvi through the
select icon dialog.


Actual Results:  
The is no visible change. Restarting/deleting the icon cache has no effect.
One gets the error:

"""
m_userSpecifiedIcon has changed. Now set to "aapplication-x-dvi"
m_userSpecifiedIcon has changed. Now set to "aapplication-x-dvi"
writing "/home/luisfe/.local/share/mime/packages/application-x-dvi.xml"
Couldn't open "/home/luisfe/.local/share/mime/packages/application-x-dvi.xml"
for writing
"""

Expected Results:  
The chosen icon is shown

The obvious workaround is to create the folders 

.local/share/mime
.local/share/mime/packages

After doing this the icon can be set. So the code needs to create these
directories if they do not exist.
