Comment:

 For better flexibility in a future implementation I'd make the parameter
 an array of filter specs (D-Bus signature 'aa{sv}'):
 {{{
 [
   {
     'name': 'Localized filter name one',
     'icon': 'first-icon-name',
     'mimetypes': ['first/mime-type', 'second/mime-type']
   },
   {
     'name': 'Localized filter name two',
     'icon': 'second-icon-name',
     'mimetypes': ['some/mime-type', 'other/mime-type']
   }
 ]
 }}}
 That way, additional properties could be passed, and unknown ones ignored,
 providing a forwards and backwards-compatible API. The API would not need
 to change if there were additional allowed filter properties.
