Image surfaces are meant to be initialized to black transparent aren't they?

anyway, inserting the following three lines before the svg file gets
rendered still results in corruption, it just looks green :)

tempcr.set_source_rgba(0.0, 1.0, 0.0, 1.0)
tempcr.rectangle(-1, -1, 100, 100)
tempcr.fill()
