This pixbuf stuff shouldn't affect opengl (except by possibly
eliminating a conversion, since a GL implementation is more likely to
support the cairo format than the classic format, I think)

Native-requiring widgets like GLExt and XEmbed and whatever will just
be special cased in GTK someway and won't draw to a cairo context.
This is an issue for Benjamin's rendering cleanup, but not related to
pixbufs.
