     The gdk_pixbuf_new() function can be used as a convenience to
     create a pixbuf with an empty buffer.  This is equivalent to
-    allocating a data buffer using malloc() and then wrapping it with
-    gdk_pixbuf_new_from_data().  The gdk_pixbuf_new() function will
-    compute an optimal rowstride so that rendering can be performed
-    with an efficient algorithm.
