I think I see your problem, but IMHO your whole approach is not right
(from UI design point of view).  I think the consistent solution would
be to use a GtkCombo and a simple "Browse" button.

Even if your approach would work as you want it to, there would still be
problems like reasonable truncation of long paths, robust handling of
theming issues etc.
