cairo_surface_flush() only guarantees that all operations are complete before
you try to read back from the surface. X enforces that all outstanding
operations are complete before a XGetImage() reads back from the surface. The
remaining issue would then be somebody mixing direct pixel manipulation with
XRender to a ShmPixmap and that would require cairo_surface_flush() to call
XSync()! And if XFlush() was a performance disaster...

However, cairo_surface_show_page() calling XFlush() has merit and would seem to
fit the sematics, so copying to TODO.
