Maybe it isn't overkill.  It just seems like a lot to do to start up all
of GTK+ just to get to GDK pixmaps to realize.  However, if you'll be
using GTK+ anyway for the other parts later in the program, maybe it's
fine.  I really have no strong opinion on the matter.

I'd just make sure that whatever you decide to do will definitely
realize these images, and I'd comment this intent so folks years down
the road won't look at it and go "Why the heck did they do that?"
