I understand, that's a good reason. But if cairo can not support GdkPixbufs
natively, I think it should still be able to export and import them. Cairo seem
to be a superior alternative to GDK, but it is very hard to port existing API:s
using GdkPixbuf to Cairo because you want to keep compatibility. For example,
GtkSelectionData that has the methods get_pixbuf() and set_pixbuf() could use
an cairo ImageSurface internally and then use the import and export functions.

I know that it is not that hard to write the functions yourself, but it would
really help if cairo had some highly optimized and screamingly fast functions
for it.
