It has a whole hell of a lot more features, and implements more things
internally instead of relying on Xlib.

For embedded stuff the best approach is to remove widgets you aren't
using from the Makefile.am, and from gtk.h. Also, you can use
configure options to avoid building many of the image loader backends
in gdk-pixbuf.

We want to have an easy way to strip out widgets using configure
options, but no one has had time to do the work.
