There are two issues here, you need to properly escape the slash:
"C:\\\\a.jpg".
And a.jpg is not a resource file, so you would use the Pixbuf
constuctor to load an image file.
```
Pixbuf p = new Pixbuf(r"C:\\a.jpg");
```
Thanks. Why do I need 4 slashes? Is that standard with gtk because
strings are interpreted twice or something? Seemed to work though.
Nothing specific to GTK but in D and other programing languages the \ is
used as an escape character, so you can use special characters in your
sting like `\n` for a newline. But this means you will need to use \\ to
get an literal back slash.

You can also use an wysiwyg string by using `r"` at the start so what
you type is what you get.
