[cairo] Subject: ImageSurfacePattern disappears with a large enough scale factor

[Michel Iwaniec]

Thanks! After managing to manually overwrite all shared libraries and links to them, using this patched version worked like a charm. :)

Though I still have some problems with the grid and the image misaligning when zooming in *really* close. (much closer than in the linked .PNG images that is) I can live with that for now, but it would be nice if these precision errors(?) could be reduced even more.

Anyhow, thanks again for your über-fast solution! :)
