You can pass an arbitrary pointer.  For example a pointer to
an arbitrarily complex data structure created for this
purpose.

Alternatively, you can make use of g_object_set_data() and
g_object_get_data() to attach data to objects and pick them
later, although there doesn't seem to be a suitable involved
object for that.

While registration of stock icons is a bit convoluted
I don't understand what further explanation is needed for
`load the pixbufs only once and reuse them':

    pixbuf_foo = gdk_pixbuf_new_from_file("foo.png", ...);

keep pixbuf_foo around and use it every time you need the
foo image.
