You can have the gdk-pixbuf library and not the full gnome as well.
Yes it does, as long as you have libgdk_pixbuf.so and the remaining
loaders.
Furthermore:
[rms@roque rms]$ ldd /usr/lib/libgdk_pixbuf.so.2
libgmodule-1.2.so.0 => /usr/lib/libgmodule-1.2.so.0 (0x40026000)
libglib-1.2.so.0 => /usr/lib/libglib-1.2.so.0 (0x40029000)
libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x4004b000)
libgtk-1.2.so.0 => /usr/lib/libgtk-1.2.so.0 (0x4004f000)
libgdk-1.2.so.0 => /usr/lib/libgdk-1.2.so.0 (0x4017d000)
libXi.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXi.so.6 (0x401b1000)
libXext.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXext.so.6 (0x401b9000)
libX11.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6 (0x401c7000)

/lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x80000000)
gdk-pixbuf requires no gnome.

So, while previously both gtk build and gnome build could benefit from
gdk pixbuf, currently, only the gnome build will.
Quite frankly, I can't consider this an improvement, and this makes
little sense.
I say let the plugin go back to the abiword-plugins module.
