Well, the GnomePixmapEntry widget has always been a usability
nightmare and I strongly hope that no such widget will ever make it
into GTK+. If you want users to choose an icon, then present them with
a set of icons, not with a file chooser widget. The user shouldn't
have to care about the location of the icon/image file on disk.
