All double buffering techniques are performed outside cairo, so you're
looking in the wrong place. If you've already figured out how to
double buffer w/out help from gtk, then you have what you want
already. Just modify that same code to use cairo for drawing. Perhaps
the confusion here is that you're not sure how to use cairo w/out gtk?
