A varient; I was missing the gdk.pixbuf because I assumed that because
there was a gtk.pixbuf that I knew about, that I had all relevant data.
Were that the only pixbuf, that would be an atrocity. (Particularly odd
for GTK, the *Gimp* windowing toolkit.)

(It of course figures that was the google search; I think I tried
everything but that; "python imaging library" "pygtk" isn't anywhere near
as helpful, for instance.)
