The pixbuf stuff as currently being shipped appears to -> v1 to the 
extent that it pulled in a whole lot of v1 libraries when installed.

OK, so it can be done manually which is a start. Now all I need to do is 
get Lazarus working- on whatever distro- with v2 so I can see if the 
widget set does it. At present I can't say whether Win-32 is anomalous 
for doing it, or gtk v1 is anomalous for not doing it. And much as I 
want to know I've got limited time.
