I don't know what that class is.

The example is the Gambas source code of FileView.

To get the desktop file associated with a file you use the 
DesktopMime.FromFile() method.

It returns a DesktopMime object that represents the desktop file. Then 
you have a GetIcon() method to get the icon associated with that desktop 
file.

You should run carefully the freedesktop desktop file specifications to 
understand everything.
