The offset is needed when using cairo_set_source_surface to set up a
pattern for fills and strokes as well.

The most general mechanism for all of this is to create a pattern for
the surface and set a matrix on that pattern. The cairo_set_source_surface 
call is just a convenience to create an implicit pattern and to
provide the most commonly used portion of the matrix, the translation.

And it's the general case that still suffers from confusing lock
semantics. So, that's a bigger issue than the current patch.

I've gone ahead and committed this patch now.
