Yes, an Fl_Cairo_Window is good and would provide some beautiful drawing capabilities. If it is equivalent to an Fl_GL_Window, you will not be able to render any widgets into it. You can solve that by either mixing Cairo and native drawing (which would make the native widgets even uglier next to Cairo drawings), or you provide alternative graphics calls for widgets that go into Cairo windows (which can be solved by providing a graphics class with virtual functions depending on the graphics interface used in the window, which is a smaller version of what I suggest). My first mail was not meant as a criticism at all, more like a dream ;-) . I find it great that we can support Cairo and I know that getting rid of the "pixel" in GUI graphics is the future.
