Hi,

Right click on icon. Select Properties. In the "Open With" tab select Add. 
In this window select "Use A Custom Command". Either browse for the 
mathematica executable, or type into the form the location of mathematica. 
There should be a symbolic link with the path /usr/local/bin/mathematica.
Most file browsers have these utilities.

Regards
Yas
