This isn't really right. If you look at the GdkPixbufAnimation API,
you'll see that it is significantly different than what we'd have come
up for GIF-only, since it allows non-frame-based animations.
The fact that it has time based iterators, instead of frame-based
iterators allows for dealing with, e.g., animations with ballistically
moving elements.
Though no, it isn't designed for video.
