I hope that when you will find out how things works you will update
the howto or write a brand new better one.

I've sent a patch to pygtk [1] in order.to have the constructors:

gtk.image_new_from_pixmap
gtk.image_new_from_image
gtk.image_new_from_file
gtk.image_new_from_pixbuf

at the moment yours seams to be the better solution.

cheers
