It would be nice to have the insensitive pixmaps at the lower level
too.  I was looking for this feature in GnomePixmap this weekend
in fact. ;-)

Perhaps we can move the generation of a insensitive pixmap down
a few levels into GtkPixmap.  In gnome-stock is the insensitive
generation done with gdk_imlib or just on the Gdk Pixmap "manually"?

Does the algorithm just blend the background color with the pixmap,
or is it more complex?
