What about using only the content as logo? Omitting the circle could save some space.

That's a very good point actually: you could place the symbol on top of a document 'template' shape. For example, spreadsheet would show a mini page of cells, with the Kspread symbol over it.

We're thinking in the same direction. Must mean it's a good idea, right? ;)

The actual symbols don't say much, but I really like the idea. As logos, they're fine. However, as application icons it would be hard to distinguish the applications. I think a "background" would help very much - maybe show the symbol on top of the mimetype icon?

Funny, I was thinking something similar, too. Omit the circle (and, of course, the name), and place it over the mimetype. Immediately recognizable, and associated with the logo.
