The pixmap is across a socket on the X server, it's a remote object
not in your application's address space. So getting the pixels is
sloooow and in general if you're doing that using a pixmap is a
mistake (though there are exceptions to the rule).

That said, I think gdk-pixbuf has a get_from_drawable() function to
get them as a pixbuf.
