basically both functions, gdk_image_get() and pixbuf_from_drawable() are
pretty broken and have to be redone before release.
i ran into similar problems with deskguide which does contain fairly
stable code to shoot images at this point, though it doesn't yet come
with the speed-optimized versions of rgbconvert().

help here is apprechiated if someone has the guts to backport the
deskguide screenshooting code into gdk/gdk-pixbuf.
