even this might be seen as "complicated", when there's a nice method for
Gtk2::Gdk::Pixbuf like fill():

  # $red, $green, $blue and $alpha preconditions hold as above
  my $packed = $alpha
             | $blue  << 8
             | $green << 16
             | $red   << 24;
  my $pixbuf = Gtk2::Gdk::Pixbuf->new('rgb', TRUE, 8, $width, $height);
  $pixbuf->fill($packed);

well, packing bits might prove to be complicated - but maybe it's just
me that had to check. ;-)

ciao,
 Emmanuele.
