Question can iconview have a background image like nautilus?

GtkIconView is derived from GtkWidget. GtkWidget can have a background color or GdkPixmap through its style. Therefore, yes, GtkIconView can.

GtkWidget has a member called "GtkStyle *style". You should use that and its bg_pixmap[] property at http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/gtk/GtkStyle.html#GtkStyle-struct

#include <gtk/gtk.h>

int main( int argc,
char *argv[] )
{
GtkWidget *window;
GdkColor color;
GtkWidget *iconview;

gtk_init (&argc, &argv);

window = gtk_window_new (GTK_WINDOW_TOPLEVEL);

iconview = gtk_icon_view_new();
gtk_container_add (GTK_CONTAINER (window), iconview);
gtk_icon_view_set_selection_mode(GTK_ICON_VIEW (iconview), GTK_SELECTION_MULTIPLE);

gdk_color_parse ("red", &color);
gtk_widget_modify_bg (iconview, GTK_STATE_NORMAL, &color);

gtk_widget_show (iconview);
gtk_widget_show (window);

gtk_main ();

return 0;
}

This code should set the iconview background to red but it doesn't

I believe you want to use the base color: http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/gtk/GtkWidget.html#gtk-widget-modify-base
