Might be better to try and implement a reusable library for DDS support
(or if you are lucky find an existing one)  and create a loader for
gdkpixbuf which give you support in all kinds of different GTK
applications which use the standard gdkpixbuf interface.  As far as I know
Gqview uses gdkpixbuf for the file formats it supports.
