GtkPixbuf from Char buffer

[Arto Karppinen <arto karppinen mail suomi net>]

Hi, were developing an application which is supposed to show user images 
downloaded from web server using xmlrpc. The problem is that we cant 
quite figure out how to create a pixbuf from a buffer which contains the 
RAW contents of a file.

Functions like:

   gdk_pixbuf_new_from_data
   gdk_pixbuf_new_from_inline
   gdk_pixbuf_from_pixdata

all seem to expect the image to be in some particular format already, 
while what we need is more like gdk_pixbuf_new_from_file() which is able 
to autodetect everything and just read the file.

All information that our application has about the image are:
 - Name of file.
 - Size of file.
 - Contents of file.
