Sounds reasonable, except the name isn't very obvious. A better plan might
be to put that in the 'Set Icon' box, so you can choose:

- Just for this file, or
- All files of type '.../...'

This means that people will generally end up in the right box, because
you're probably thinking "I want to set the icon", not "I want to do
something globally for this MIME-type".

I think this is the best place for suggestions. Although the questions
asked on users often turn into suggestions... ;-)
