OK, I am somewhat happy that I understood the issue. In case we would
like to pursue this idea, I did not found a way to draw on a cairo
surface bypassing the CTM. Is this issue specific to goocanvas ? how are
other users solving it. Perhaps we could ask cairo people about our
problem, maybe they have or plan a solution ?
