are you sure you need to use gdk_pixbuf_xlib functions?

libgdk_pixbuf_xlib-2.0 is an extra library that is not linked in by
default. You only need it if you want to use GdkPixbuf functionality
in an application that uses XLib and shouldn't use it in a GTK+
program. Just stay with the GDK abstraction and keep away from using
XLib directly. Consider using gdk_pixbuf_get_from_drawable() to get
the pixbuf from a GDK drawable.


Salut, Sven
