There is, but it isn't compiled in by default, and can only be used
to load from a Window (not a Pixmap!).

Oh, it is also VERY SLOOOOOOOOOOW.

Does gdkrgb contain complement functions which will unconvert pixmaps
back into RGB data?  Not that I can see ... are there plans for this
somewhere?

This is something imlib does, that we will need if gdkpixbuf is to
replace it :(
