[cairo] Problems with InvalidateRect under Windows

[Adrian Lopez]

I'm using Cairo under Windows with the same approach and have not
experienced any problems with InvalidateRect. InvalidateRect expects
coordinates in what Cairo calls device space, so make sure the rectangle you
pass to InvalidateRect is defined in device space rather than user space.
Call cairo_user_to_device to convert from user space to device space.
