It is a gnome application, so I suppose it is safe to assume that you
must install it to use it.
The reason I use this method is because I was not too impressed by the
quality of the xpm export from gimp, versus the quality of the
conversion of .png files by gnome-pixbuf-csource. I use this method for
very small icons and all the way up to larger background images. I have
been quite satisified with the results.
