gdk-pixbuf and mime-types

[jacob berkman <jacob ximian com>]

while hacking eog to use the new file selector, it occured to me that
eog doesn't actually know what kinds of files it can open, since this
depends entirely on gdk-pixbuf (which can actually load files of types
it didn't come with, due to the plugins, right?).

so are there problems with adding API to gdk-pixbuf to get a list of
mime-types it thinks it can load?
