I'm quite sure that if you take some time to think things over, you will
see that there is an alternative to saving all 10 image paths on the
same string. The g_strconcat() function is very useful for merging
strings into a larger string. Example:
gchar *g=g_strconcat(string1,string2,string3,NULL);
useful_function(g);
g_free(g);

You can use as many strings as you want with g_strconcat().
