This is the list from a9, not from the latest JDS dev, isn't it?

Yes. If you are not touching gstreamer, it has no big benefit for
hipster then.

Well, gdk-pixbuf was splitted from gtk2 source. They cross depend on
each other and it is not so simple to build newer gtk2 with older
gdk-pixbuf and vice versa. You have to play with build options and hope.
If you are not rebuilding binary then it should work with newer
gdk-pixbuf libs. There should not be ABI incompatibilities.
