Jason LeBrun wrote to gaim-devel:

"I have found a small quirk in the way gdk_pixbuf_loader works. When you
are using it without signalling, the proper way to use it is to call
gdk_pixbuf_loader_close *before* calling gdk_pixbuf_loader_get_animation
or gdk_pixbuf_loader_get_pixbuf. The call to gdk_pixbuf_loader_close
signals that no more writes will be occuring.

In particular, this affects images that are less than 1k in size. If
gdk_pixbuf_loader_close is not called before _get_animation, the loader
will not return anything unless it has received more than 1k of data
(the file type sniffing buffer size) or it has been closed.

So, the proper order of calls for loaders in the gtk*.c code is:

gdk_pixbuf_loader_new();
gdk_pixbuf_loader_write();
gdk_pixbuf_loader_close();
gdk_pixbuf_loader_get_animation();"

I know we fixed a bug by changing this in one place. I've gone through and updated the rest.

/* 
   This example demonstrates how to use libgaim-client to communicate
   with gaim.  The names and signatures of functions provided by
   libgaim-client are the same as those in gaim.  However, all
   structures (such as GaimAccount) are opaque, that is, you can only
   use pointer to them.  In fact, these pointers DO NOT actually point
   to anything, they are just integer identifiers of assigned to these
   structures by gaim.  So NEVER try to dereference these pointers.
   Integer ids as disguised as pointers to provide type checking and
   prevent mistakes such as passing an id of GaimAccount when an id of
   GaimBuddy is expected.  According to glib manual, this technique is
   portable.
