Loading a pixbuf from a file.

<!-- ##### SECTION Long_Description ##### -->
9
The &gdk-pixbuf; library provides a simple mechanism for loading
10
an image from a file in synchronous fashion. This means that the
11
library takes control of the application while the file is being
12
loaded; from the user's point of view, the application will block
13
until the image is done loading.
17
This interface can be used by applications in which blocking is
18
acceptable while an image is being loaded. It can also be used to
19
load small images in general. Applications that need progressive
20
loading can use the #GdkPixbufLoader functionality instead.
