[cairo] Image will not rotate

[Evan White]

I look at the C programing samples posted on the Cairo site and saw that 
set_source is usually called after the rotation function.  So before I 
posted my first post I tried it and all I got was a black screen.  No 
image was painted to the window. Not the background or any of the gauge 
needles.
