Hello everyone,

I tried to install the new gtk2 gem on a clean machine and some of my  
test applications failed because gdkpixbuf was missing. The problem is  
obviously fixed by installing it but I wonder if it should be added as a  
dependency of gtk2 instead - it is listed on ruby/gnome2 's mainpage as  
a part of the gtk2 package.

Best,
