The context can have any arbitrary transformation already applied to it. So given this situation, how would I ensure that I get a uniform line width from the stroke even when they may have applied a deforming scale to the context? Any ideas would be appreciated!

Something like:

  cairo_save (cr);
  cairo_identity_matrix (cr);
  cairo_set_line_width (cr, width);
  cairo_stroke (cr);
  cairo_restore (cr);

Have fun with cairo!
