Looking at gdk-pixbuf2-2.31.3-3.fc23, gdk-pixbuf2-xlib-devel
contains pkgconfig files, libgdk_pixbuf_xlib-2.0.so symlink but no headers?
So how can we know what API (functions) needs -lgdk_pixbuf_xlib-2.0
linking when using them?

i.e. Looks like /usr/include/gdk-pixbuf-2.0/gdk-pixbuf-xlib/ should also be
moved to gdk-pixbuf2-xlib-devel.
