I would prefer reverting to the old cairo surface code for the upcoming 
release. I was having quite a few problems with the new surface code (remember 
the color issue with remote display?) so that I turned it of locally anyway. 
Maybe we could add an autoconf option to select either the modern or the ximage 
based cairo surface at configuration time?
