I fully agree that such an example is very much needed. One of the big 
points in favor of Cairo is that it is not tied to a toolkit, but all 
the examples being tied to a toolkit mean that is not really true...

As FLTK can draw using Cairo, I think I may be able to extract the 
necessary information and make a program that works that does not use 
GTK (or FLTK). I hope this will be a useful example.
