The solution I have ATM is next:

In both files there is a entry as 'icon=' and is not used currently.
I put in the $HOME/.config/gambas both icons included here.
Copyright is Fabian when I'm right. they are anyway great for a *.gambas filetype.

The file entry in both files must be then '/home/ron/.config/gambas/gambas2.png'
The Gambas2.png has a big '2' in it, gambas1.png is without version number 

I set gambas1.png in x-gambas.desktop while this one is related 
to a *.gambas file and has no version id in it.

And I set gambas2.png in the gbr2.desktop file.

So the files should as follows.
/home/ron/.kde/share/mimelnk/application/x-gambas2.desktop
/home/ron/.kde/share/applnk/.hidden/gbr2.desktop
/home/ron/.config/gambas/gambas1.png
/home/ron/.config/gambas/gambas2.png

Change the name 'ron' to your user name.
Did work here direct without kbuildsycoca :)
