Leaking memory while viewing animated gif

Description

Hello!

As reported here[0] libgdk-pixbuf leaks memory while viewing animated gif. Since ristretto uses libgdk-pixbuf it suffers from the issue. I could reproduce the leak on ristretto 0.8.4git-r982d2d3a along with the ristretto 0.8.1 from Debian stable.

EoG from Debian stable also suffers from the issue though haven't tried the latest eog upstream.

This issue can be used as a reminder to either upgrade the libgdk-pixbuf dependency version or source the fix once it's fixed in upstream.

Thanks!
