[Mono-winforms-list] Default OpenDialog icons

[Alexander Olk]

FileDialog already uses a mime type based lookup for icons (a complete
freedesktop.org spec mime implementation is in swf source, file Mime.cs
and MimeGenerated.cs). 
Currently MimeIconEngine (in MimeIcon.cs) platform handlers support
gnome and kde. Two platforms are missing, MacOSX and Windows.

Look at the attached OpenFileDialog screenshots (gnome and kde).

As you can see on the left side there are replacement icons for Desktop,
Home, Network. They are replaced using
MimeIconEngine.GetIconForMimeTypeAndSize...

So no need to put this in the driver...
