[cairo] Problems with InvalidateRect under Windows

[Tim Teulings]

Hello!

OK, that is different.

> My drawing code looks like this:

You are creating an offscreen buffer to draw into and then copy the 
content of the buffer back to original HDC. This is similar what I'm 
doing under X11 (should use double buffering support for a better 
version of it) but under Windows I'm just doing:

           dc=::BeginPaint(wnd,&ps);

	  surface=cairo_win32_surface_create(dc);
           cairo=cairo_create(surface);

and use that surface and cairo_t for direct drawing into the DC returned 
by BeginPaint().

Shoulden't this work, too (it does not always - as described)?
