gdk_pixbuf_copy_area() definitely doesn't take a GC.

To copy a pixbuf to a drawable (pixmap/window), create the GC using
the pixmap/window, not the pixbuf.

GC is a server-side object; pixbuf is client-side; GC controls how
server-side drawing operations are done. Ergo GC's have nothing to do
with pixbufs, only with server-side drawables.
