[cairo] Using cairo-xlib to get screenshots

[Oliver]

Hello again!

Turns out that the code works well on other machines. I'd really appreciate
any help that could let me pinpoint the problem. I did get a list of things
to check from psychon in #cairo at freenode, but none of them seem to indicate
a problem. I have ensured:

 - Using xsetroot to have different background colors for my x root window,
the black pixels are not due to a black root window with no children
rendered.
 - I can take screenshots using `import -window root asdf.png`
 - xwininfo -root and xwininfo on visible windows show that they have the
same depth and visual properties.
