	We should move these helpers into libbonoboui then certainly, so that
we can cope with new pixbuf formats etc. as they arrive in some slightly
wrapped fashion I think.

	Oliver, are you interested in hacking this up, for inclusion into
libbonoboui / libbonobo ? I guess we need a Bonobo_GdkPixbuf module in
libbonobo/idl/Bonobo_Gdk.idl - at least.

	FWIW there is a nasty hack to turn a GdkPixbuf into a string in
libbonoboui/bonobo/bonobo-ui-util.c, see the pixbuf_to_xml /
xml_to_pixbuf routines :-)

	HTH,
