Start looking at the GError parameter every time we call these functions:
- gdk_pixbuf_loader_write
- gdk_pixbuf_loader_close
- gdk_pixbuf_new_from_file
- gdk_pixbuf_new_from_file_at_size
- gdk_pixbuf_new_from_file_at_scale
There are times when gdkpixbuf returns a semi-invalid GdkPixbuf object and
also sets the GError. If this happens we want to discard and ignore the
GdkPixbuf object because it can cause problems. For example, calling
gdk_pixbuf_scale_simple() causes gdkpixbuf to rapidly consume memory in
an infinite loop. And that's bad.
This commit adds some helper functions to gtkutils.[c|h] that make it a
little easier to check the GError value. We should use them everywhere
we call any of the above functions.
