You should probably use the GPtrArray.  And as you iterate through your list
of files you can do g_ptr_array_add( my_array, g_strdup(filename) ).

To iterate through the array you do:
for( i = 0; i < my_array->len; i++ )
   g_print( "%s", g_ptr_array_index(my_array, i) );

Don't forget to free the filenames stored in the GPtrArray.
