OK. So if you're imagining, (or if I have proposed), that
cairo_surface_get_width/height would return something different than
cairo_xlib_surface_get_width/height, then we definitely need a new
name and specification for whatever it would be that
cairo_surface_get_width/height are doing.

Anyway, it seems clear to me that we don't have good consensus around
cairo_surface_get_width/height. I don't want to push a mistake in just
before a major release, so I had planned on just dropping this for
now.

But since Robert says he would be cairo_xlib_surface_get_width/height,
I propose we throw those in now, before 1.2. We already have
cairo_xlib_surface_set_size, so there's not much reason to prevent the
user from getting these back out again. And 1.2 is already adding
several other cairo_xlib_surface_get functions compared to 1.0,
(display, drawable, visual, screen, depth).
