[Slackbuilds-users] pixbuf - redundant?

[SlackBuilds at catcons.co.uk]

Hello  :-)

I mailed the pixbuf maintainer about this but got a 550.

While exploring how to set an icon for rxvt-unicode, I discovered that
pixbuf seems to be included in the standard Slackware 13.1 gtk+2-2.18.9
package.  Here's the evidence:

root at CW8:~# grep pixbuf \
/var/log/packages/gtk+2-2.18.9-x86_64-1 | wc -l
104

Does that mean the pixbuf SlackBuild is redundant or does it provide more
functionality that the pixbuf in gtk+2? 

Best

Charles
