You can make a few png or jpg frames and hook up a g_timeout_add() callback
to
set the pixbuf on a GtkImage. I done similar when I needed to dynamically
scale animated gifs. Be sure to stop your timeout on unmap()/unrealize(),
especially if you have more than a handful of animated images instantiated
anywhere.
