Unnecessary - the system would have provided a blank one for you ;-p

That's only one place you'd expect to find an icon for xv on KDE.
If you want to use that particular icon either:-
; select it using the "icon browser"[*1]
; choose the "mono" theme, and it will then be used instead of the blank
icon

Alternative:-
Then click on "edit file type" (the spanner icon).
Then click on the actual icon in the "General" tab of the "Edit file
type" dialog.
That then opens the "icon browser"[*1]

This "process" can "find" "it" anywhere.
Installation normally sets the path to the icon for the application,
otherwise it's done manually (as you're doing).
By default system-wide icons go beneath /usr/share/icons/*
[*1]When you're using the icon browser the "System" (Mime types, etc) is
/usr/share/icons/$current_icon_theme. The "Other" (browse...) allows you
to select icons from any local path.
Generally you'll have multiple pixel sized icons plus a svg, you've just
listed the svg. You should also have .png icons. eg.:-
$ locate xv | grep /usr/share/icons
/usr/share/icons/oxygen/16x16/apps/xv.png
/usr/share/icons/oxygen/32x32/apps/xv.png
/usr/share/icons/oxygen/48x48/apps/xv.png
NOTE: - you may have the same structure beneath /usr/share/icons/mono
and other icon themes.
Kind regards
