Sorry about that. I should have looked closer at the patch and seen
that that is obviously the case.

I've now pushed the patch out.

    [xlib] Have create_similar try harder to create the right surface
    
    I recently discovered that cairo_create_similar on a 16-bit xlib surface
    creates a surface backed by a 24-bit pixmap. This results in absymal
    performance --- I can actually watch a copy from the similar to the
    original move down the screen, on my dual Xeon, NVidia vendor driver
    machine. It also means xlib-based code like GTK themes can't render to
    the surface because it doesn't match the screen depth.
    
    The attached patch makes _cairo_xlib_surface_create_similar match the
    characteristics of the input surface as closely as I know how, and fixes
    my issues.
