Can confirm.

Hmm, the `empty` icon appears to be a 256x256 placeholder for widget icons. It seems like we're misusing it in this context; at its full size; it looks okay even with a dark color scheme.

Use appropriate icon for blank file

`empty` is not a MIME type icon, and it's intended for new Plasma
widgets. `none` is a MIME type icon and has a more appropriate
appearance here; let's use that.
