I don't understand that issue. It seems that only a handful of Ruby
statements are required to drive millions of Cairo pixels, very
close to the hardware. If this remains an issue, maybe Shoes (or a
plugin thereof) needs a "display list" concept, to treat entire
sequences of hardware commands as objects...
I'm not sure myself; I worry that it may actually be a Cairo drawing
issue, since the amount of Ruby code (at least on my side) is the same
either way, just a difference in alpha channel.

shoes raisins (0.r547) gives a blank window (Vaio VGN-FZ + Kubuntu)!
I didn't go in after it...
Ouch. I tested it on shoes-0.r532-intel.dmg
Anyone else have luck?
I also uploaded a minor bug fix, since v5 didn't have the victory
condition correct...
