+  * [Medium] Merge XLib and XCB backend similarly to what was done recently to PDF and PS
+
+    Currently there are separate XLib and XCB cairo surface backends.
+    The problem is, the XCB backend is not maintained and does not get
+    the same treatment (bug fixes, improvements, ...) that the XLib
+    backend does.  The two also duplicate a lot of code.  The idea is to merge
+    the duplicate code, possibly using a similar approach used by to make
+    the Postscript and PDF backends share code, namely, cairo-pdf-operators.c.
