The gdk-pixbuf lib consists of two parts:
1) The gdk stuff needed to replace imlib
2) A gnome-canvas item that allows you to display a pixbuf on a gnome
   canvas, like the gnome-canvas image item that allows you to show 
   imlib images on the canvas.
The GdkPixbuf code in Gtk-0.7004 provides only the first part, not the
gnome canvas item. Due to the fact that imlib sucks (yes it does have,
look at the code), I really would like to use GdkPixbuf.

Documentation for the pixbuf canvas item is here (eg.):
 http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/gdk-pixbuf/gnomecanvaspixbuf.html

As said earlier I don't mind fixing it myself but I would like some
pointers about how the Gnome bindings are generated. More explicitly
the question is: if I have a gnome widget how do I bind it to perl,
using the tools in Gtk-perl? Or what exactly does gendefs.pl do?
