the main problem which I'm tring to resolve is that my Komodo Edit text editor all of a sudden began to show Mathematica icon for every file (yesterday I just had installed Mathematica 10). This is very annoying, and I will be very grateful to anyone who will be able to solve this.

wrong file association icons

What I have found for now is that this is somehow related to the global settings, because when I forbid any access to a directory where Mathematica is installed, that is Komodo has no way to get an icon from this directory, but still shows it for every file.

Also I tried to remove the profile directory for Komodo - no result.

So the question is:

does anyone know where Komodo-Edit or other program can get this icons? They are not stored in its installation directory and the access to the mathematica directory is forbidden completely (000).

Could anyone help me with this? How can I get rid of these Mathematica icons?

Thank you.

Finally, after intermittently being struggling for five month with this, I've figured this out.

In short: one need to delete a hidden file ~/.local/share/icons/.png which is created by a Mathematica installation script.

With a bit more explanation: after I gave up to find the reason for this problem from a Komodo side, I tried to find how icons for mime types are managed in Ubuntu. So, with the help of Google, stackexchange and danjjl's answer I decided to search in the .local/share/icons directory, where I immediately spotted this hidden file.
