The mapping of a coordinate to a callback may be easily done
by creating a so called label image that has the following properties:
* It has the same size as the image map being displayed
* For each pixel it contains either 0 if there is no callback
associated with that pixel or a callback index otherwise.
Since all GdkPixbufs are 24 bits deep it means that you have 2^24-1
possible callbacks that you may encode in RGB, which should be more
than enough.;-). Note that the label image is never shown to the user.
(There is nothing to show really...)
Once you have the label image you just catch the click callback on the
image map, get its coordinate, lookup the rgb value of the corresponding
pixel on the label image, and then call the callback indexed by
$r+($g<<8)+($b<<16)
