OK, now we come closer to the icons. (the gvfs-mime was just an excursion to more precisely understand whats going on under the hood).
So the question now is, which icon set does Nautilus choose? The Theme is Ambiance. The icon theme in the index.theme is ubuntu-mono-dark But there are no icons for applications or documents in this theme. I observed that Nautilus takes the folder icons from Humanity. Some icons are taken even from the pixmaps directory. So, there must be some other mechanism to extract icons. Another interesting observation: The phenomenon can be observed on a LiveCD (or LiveUSB) I have tried it on all my other machines (most Apple hardware, some HP and other machines). With a Nautilus setting of 150% for icon view, this can be observed on all machines. try: Nautilus preferences: Icon View Defaults: Default zoom level: 150% List View Defaults: Default zoom level: 66% Make an LO document, change the zoom with CTRL-+/-.

Previews are displayed same size as LibreOffice icons. MS document files are displayed properly (150%) Dragging a file over a folder previously (14.10) made the folder darker (sometimes changing icon to opened) and the file could be dropped. In 15.04 (Nautilus 3.14.2) the folder icon SHRINKS (to 100%) and cannot be seen under the dragged icon. Would be nice if the old behaviour would be restored.
