GNOME used to use imlib2, but GNOME's image app eog ("Eye of GNOME") now
uses sundry image libraries scattered throughout the dependency tree
(jpeg, tiff, libpng, libexif) in addition to whatever is provided
directly by gtk+/cairo.
Testing with my stuff, eog supports at least PNG, JPEG, GIF and TIFF.
Wrapping ImageMagick would be elegant, IMHO.
