I have created the $KDEDIR/share/mimelnk/image/x-pic.desktop and now 
even Konqueror recognize this image as a PIC Image file. But gwenview 
still doesn't work.
I have tested the KImageIO::mimeTypes in a custom program and the 
image/x-pic mime type gets listed.
Any other hint?

Thank you very much for your help.
