The C code can be fetched from here http://www.unixarea.de/image.c

The problem is solved meanwhile. I got to know that I have to start the

$ /usr/local/libexec/gnome-settings-daemon &

which is not launched by default for KDE users (like me). I have updated
the Wiki page about how to compile and start Ekiga (this was the
application I was debugging):

http://wiki.ekiga.org/index.php/Compile_your_own_SVN_version_of_Ekiga_on_FreeBSD

Would be nice, though, if someone could explain how the icon files are
coming from the disk to the GTK application, because they are not
visible in the truss log. Thanks
