GnomePixmap is quite old, it predates GdkPixbuf and the alpha channel
rendering code.

GtkImage from GTK+ 2.0, long-term, not really available now.

Probably just draws its own stuff. Since it's open source, you could
copy the panel's code.

It's not hard to write your own code to do this, just create a drawing
area and connect an expose handler to render a GdkPixbuf with alpha.
