Another quite big problem is that it is damn *slow*, think about renaming the Toolkit FLTK a more adequate name like SLTK before heavy use.
Seriously, I don't think it was a good idea in fltk2 to make *all* rendering with cairo. Instead, we should have provided a very light and simple API like the code in the cairo demo plus some fltk internals hacks to support the surfaces. This way, best of both worlds could be achieved: Simple rendering made as usual, complex rendering with the use of cairo.
