What about Gdk_Rgb.

Read the Xlib Programming Manual (vol. 1 X book from O'Reilly). It
explains the format of an XImage. It's complicated and you don't want
to understand it though, I'll warn you in advance.

You are much better off using a GdkPixbuf for client-side image data,
since it has a fixed format. GdkImage is just the raw format of the
display hardware.
