Not sure if this is helpful, but we solved this in GIMP by adding a
new param_spec derived from GParamSpecString:

http://cvs.gnome.org/viewcvs/gimp/libgimpconfig/gimpconfig-path.h?view=markup
http://cvs.gnome.org/viewcvs/gimp/libgimpconfig/gimpconfig-path.c?view=markup

GimpConfigPath has a type enum that identifies it as a file or
direcory path or a list of files or list of directories.
