Well, after a few investigations, I can say that the ArtPixBuf is
obsolete and GdkPixBuf is private.

Here is what can be found in the Changelog of gdk-pixbuf:

        * gdk-pixbuf/gnome-canvas-pixbuf.c (gnome_canvas_pixbuf_render):
        Use art_rgb_rgba_affine() or art_rgb_affine() since we no longer
        have an ArtPixBuf

I will look forward why it is used and what can be done instead. But if
someone feels more confortable than me with the sources of gtkAda, I
will be glad to wait :)
