[Cairo] cairo_surfce_set_clip_region

[Soorya Kuloor]

How do I restore a clip? I do not see a function to do this in either
Render or libic. Do I need to remember the original surface dimensions
and set the clip to the full dimension? I see an internal function in
libic to destroy a clip, but don't see anything like that for Render.

Thanks,
