The new cairo surface has fixed a lot of other problems though. I had 
color problems with endianness before too... I don't know how many of 
these new little problems we are seeing during this test phase are 
caused by the surface switch however. It's a mixed decision, the switch 
was done for a certain number of bugs and speed improvements.
