[cairo] Problem with CAIRO_EXTEND_REPEAT

I think there was a problem with my previous email... sorry...

You're right. I leave it there since my first version of this code was 
drawing a line instead of using paint.

I've tried to turn it on and it doesn't change anything (maybe the 
borders of the black squares are a little less sharp but I'm not even sure).
