Re: getting color from gdk::pixbuf (probably a bug in Gdk::Pixbuf)

[doome <doome uhulinux hu>]

Is it possible that the get_pixels function doesn't work?
The get_pixels function returns nothing, however the png image shows up
in the Gtk2::Image.

$pixbuf = Gtk2::Gdk::Pixbuf->new_from_file(foobar.png);
$image = Gtk2::Image->new_from_pixbuf($pixbuf);
$pixels = $pixbuf->get_pixels;

The $image shows up in the window, but the $pixels string is empty.

Using the latest stable releases: Glib2 1.022   Gtk2 1.023
