Thats not entirely a good thing right now. On my 486 class boxes gdk_imlib
is much much faster than gdk_pixbuf (20second versus 15 minute startup for
xfce). I just hope the ARM one has the right ARM specific optimisations

ATK may well be useful. ATK already handles things like screen magnification
and screen reading, which on a PDA might help us all
