[cairo] Implementing GUI with Cairo

I have a working GUI which I've made using Cairo/SVG, and the way I 
approach this is to reference individual SVG objects as my GUI 
elements.

For example, I have an SVG object with the id="Window", and within 
this object are all the bits and pieces which describe the Window.  I 
have separate accessor functions which change the attributes of this 
object according to my need, by directly manipulating the SVG DOM ..

Its exciting, actually, to have a fully-SVG GUI on my app!  Themes 
are so easily made!!  New Controls -> Just paint them, make sure they 
have the right ID's set, and oila!
