Hugh,
Not an answer to your interesting problem of joining to nearest points, but
you might m ake somethig of a three dimensional version of your plot, with z
values given by bthe parameter g:
data=Join@@
Table[{Re[#],Im[#],g}&/@
Flatten[s/.NSolve[s^10+g^10 (1+s)\[Equal]0,s]],{g,0,2,0.05}];
Show[Graphics3D[Point/@data]]
