Yes, as currently designed the call to xcb_render_util_query_version()
on line 1767 of cairo_xcb_surface.c must be preceded by a check for the
Render extension.  After that, major = minor = -1 and all the
CAIRO_SURFACE_RENDER_HAS macros will return false. You would also
need to comb through the code to make sure there are cairo or
core X fallbacks for every potential use of Render protocol.
(cairo was originally designed as a convenience library for
Render, so that might take some work.)
