The items of the list returned by gtk_icon_view_get_selected_items()
are, according to

    http://developer.gnome.org/gtk3/stable/GtkIconView.html#gtk-icon-view-get-selected-items

GtkTreePaths.  So to obtain the items you normally use
gtk_tree_model_get_iter() to convert the paths to iterators and then
gtk_tree_model_get(), using these iterators, to obtain data from the
underlying tree model.

What you can obtain from the tree model and how depends how the model
looks like.
