Primarily, it was for speed. With the pixbuf engine you won't get
hardware accelerated theming IIRC. Maybe they use pixmap caches now
to speed it up. It also reduces the usual overhead when not going
through Gdk(Pixbuf).

For embedded devices a native DirectFB GTK theming engine should really
be considered, but for the graphical installer it's not very important.
