I've done this once before in another toolkit but with animated Targa's.

What you'll need to do on your own is load each frame or have a structure
that contains referances to each frame on file (to save memory) of the
image file in question (your .gif file).

A gtk_callback should be used to display each frame, from (preferably)
loaded pixmap to a gtk drawing area widget. Remember to return TRUE on
your timeout callback function so that it will be called again.
