Looking at the reference manual [1], this could be possible with style 
property "selection-box-color".

I don't know about this one. But you could connect to the 
motion-notify-event [2] of the iconview, there get the (x,y) coordinates 
of the mousepointer. Check if there is an image at that position with 
iconview.get_item_at_pos(x, y) [3], and if so, change the cursor with 
gtk.gdk.Cursor [4]. See the FAQ [5] for an example how.

That seems like the best choice to me too.
