Description Bogdan Gheorghe CLA 2011-09-14 17:41:46 EDT 
We should automatically be using Cairo for all GC operations with GTK versions greater than 2.17
Comment 1 Remy Suen CLA 2011-09-14 18:01:02 EDT 
How does this bug differ from bug 354978? Or is this a duplicate?
Comment 2 Bogdan Gheorghe CLA 2011-09-15 16:56:41 EDT 
Bug 354978, is tracking the rewrite part of the SWT graphics to use only Cairo calls (ie. currently we have a mixture of Cairo and GDK graphics call - get rid of the gdk calls). 

Right now, to use Cairo, you have to turn on advanced graphics. This bug says always use Cairo for all graphics (even before the rewrite) if you are running GTK > 2.17.
