Since no one else said it, I'll note that FC6 is kinda getting a bit
long in the tooth. If at all possible, you really want to be using the
latest release of your Linux distro if doing development because that's
where all the bug fixes will be.

Look up GdkPixbuf [instead]. What you probably want is
gdk_pixbuf_new_from_file().

You can then feed that to a GtkImage constructor or setter.
