I wasn't pay attention to one very small part..

share/gnome/icons/gnome/48x48/mimetypes/x-gdesklets-display.png

It should be share/icons/; not share/gnome/icons/ .. I fixed it by patch 
in Makefile.in.. I can create a diff quick if you think I should send it 
to PR.

Well, I have no idea if other mime types work but I can see mime type that 
came with Gnome2 by default work fine like *.txt, *.core (will open bug 
buddy) and etc. It might works because of 
/usr/X11R6/etc/gnome-vfs-mime-magic.. I will try to find other things in 
ports tree that add mime type same way what gDesklets has, then install it 
to see if it will work.
