Comment:

 GdkPixbuf cannot scale animations. I looked into Cairo, which we link
 against implicitly when you're using a recent GTK+, and that also does not
 support gifs. libungif seems the best way to do this, but I don't want to
 introduce a whole new dependency just to special-case this one file
 format. It's hopefully easy enough to create suitable GIFs yourself in
 GIMP or something.
