It's funny that I keep using the above code to demonstrate erasing to
transparent. That would be better labeled as setting a surface to a
uniform RGBA color, (with r, g, b, and a in place of the 0.0
values). Erasing to transparent is actually one step simpler:

	cairo_set_operator (cr, CAIRO_OPERATOR_CLEAR);
	cairo_paint (cr);
