Great. https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/20868 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=597174 https://qa.mandriva.com/show_bug.cgi?id=60738 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=628331 At least we're not alone.. thing is, i don't think they plan to update their bundled cairo to 1.10.x in 1.9.2. branch, so we'll have to live with it. They only plan to update it in trunk/branch 2/ffx4. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=562746 Oh well, i'll cook a diff switching back to bundled cairo, + wantlib fixes + bumps. sigh.
