Most people seem to use the gdk-pixbuf library these days. Since it
will come with GTK 2, it's a forward-thinking library choice.

With GTK 1.2 I would do the chess board by creating a drawing area and
rendering the images into that. Well, with GTK 2 I would also do that
for various reasons. But with GTK 2 you have the option to put
GtkImage widgets in a table as an alternative.
