DataViewModel: correct Variant for DataViewIconText column?

[d***@gmail.com]

I'm trying to understand what is the correct value to return from the
GetColumnType method in a DataViewModel for a DataViewIconText column: I've
tried simply "string" but that way the "live" text search (typing letters
to select the first item that starts with that character) seems to work but
it actually does nothing. Interestingly, any other value seems to break (or
just disable?) the live search and the associated keyboard shortcuts
completely.

Attached is the minimal script I'm using for testing: the commented lines
can be used to compare to a simple DataViewText column.
My system is Linux/GTK 2.24.

Maybe this comment is relevant:

Also, have you checked the *DVC_DataViewModel *demo? It might provide some
help.

Thank you, unfortunately none of those references has helped me, so I've
scrapped the idea of using the "live" search (which by the way seems
only available on wxGTK) and I've decided to use a custom renderer for
the column, and to explicitly disable the search feature. About that,
I've come up with a generic question which I've posted in
