<title>Description</title>
  <para>
    In addition to the normal Gdk-specific functions, the &gdk-pixbuf;
    package provides a small library that lets Xlib-only applications
    use <link linkend="GdkPixbuf">GdkPixbuf</link> structures and render them to X drawables.  The
    functions in this section are used to initialize the &gdk-pixbuf;
    Xlib library.  This library must be initialized near the beginning
    of the program or before calling any of the other &gdk-pixbuf;
    Xlib functions.

Initializes the gdk-pixbuf Xlib machinery by calling <link linkend="xlib-rgb-init">xlib_rgb_init</link>().  This
function should be called near the beginning of your program, or before using
any of the gdk-pixbuf-xlib functions.</para>

<para>
Similar to <link linkend="gdk-pixbuf-xlib-init">gdk_pixbuf_xlib_init</link>(), but also lets you specify the preferred
depth for XlibRGB if you do not want it to use the default depth it picks.</para>
