Almost as if you tried to use a 24-bpp packed pixel representation as a
32-bit xRGB surface...

To put it mildly you have fallen foul of GTK+'s poor integration of
Cairo and GdkPixbuf. Hmm, I actually hope that the current version of
Cairo throws an error given these inputs.

Personally, I just subclass a plain NO_WINDOW GtkMisc widget for my Cairo
drawing routines.
