There is an interesting icon chooser widget in libegg
(libegg/libegg/iconchooser); it has a really good UI to choose icons for
launchers and files, 'cause it allows you to pickup an icon from
filesystem as well as from theme (the named icon, not the file from
current theme).

Unfortunately it depends on a lot of stuff in libegg (pixbufthumbnail,
thumbnailpreview and egg_utils) and loads all icon from theme on start
up (a lot of time to start selection).

But take a look.
