No, it looks good, I've removed the gdkx.h line from cvs too.
When writing the extension I copied some of the code from a cairo gtk
extension which is X11 specific. But luckily the _backend_gdk function
pixbuf_get_pixels_array() is not X11 specific, so the gdkx.h include is
not even needed. Thanks for tracking it down.
