[cairo] RGB channels are set to zero if alpha is 0.

Hi there,


Cairo is treating colours with alpha=zero incorrectly.
If alpha is zero, the red green and blue channels are zeroed by cairo, even
if they contain non zero r/g/b values.

To demonstrate this bug, I wrote this python-cairo program that creates an
image with two colours.
The left half of the image is set to 1,1,1,0.
The right half of the image is set to 1,1,1,1

When cairo writes out the PNG, the left half of the image is incorrect.
The pixels are 0,0,0,0 instead of 1,1,1,0.

The test program:

#! /usr/bin/env python
import cairo
from math import pi, sqrt

width = 120
height = 120
filename = "out"

surface = cairo.SVGSurface(filename + '.svg', width, height)
cr = cairo.Context(surface)

cr.scale(width, height)
cr.set_line_width(0.01)

cr.rectangle(0, 0, 0.5, 1)
cr.set_source_rgba(1, 1, 1, 0/255.0)
cr.fill()

cr.set_source_rgba(1,1,1, 1/255.0)
cr.rectangle(0.5,0,1,1)
cr.fill()

surface.write_to_png(filename + '.png')
cr.show_page()
surface.finish()
