That would be me. There are a couple of places within Cairo itself
that it does this.

Ugh. OK. In that case, supporting non-render servers will take a bit
more work.
Ah, but it looks like the work isn't too hard. There's only one call
to XCreatePixmap in Cairo, and it has libic-based fallback code next
to it already.
I just committed a really lame patch that will help in some cases. It
falls over to the libic code whenever it tries to create a depth 32
pixmap on a server without Render. This will be sub-optimal if the
server actually does support depth 32, and it can still break on other
depths, (eg. I just found that cairo-knockout fails against vncserver
which doesn't support depth 8 pixmaps).
I will gladly accept a better patch that actually works with the
server to do the right thing.
