The icon selector used by gmenu and the desktop properties of the panel is in
gnome-libs/libgnomui/gnome-icon-sel.[ch], currently it is only used by
gnome-dentry-edit.c, the desktop entry editor.

It does have the ability to add more than one directory to the list, but the
entry editor only adds one. Feel free to add the ability to change directories,
although gnome-dentry-edit.c will probably require a simple change as well.

It might be better to work on a gnome file selector, I think someone is already
working on it. Then create an new icon selector from a derived file selection
widget, just a thought.
