That is correct, but for some reasons this backend wasn't used in Patryks installation. If you didn't choose another backend on purpose, the reason is most likely that either the cairo development package or some package required by that is missing on your machine. The best way to find out is to check the config.log file of GNUstep back.
Checking config.log, I see that "cairo" seems to be there... but that config has also found "cairo-xlib" (see below). I'm not clear on the problem. Are cairo and xlib supposed to be mutually exclusive?
