When we discussed this before, I among others suggested that this is wrong as
it hardcodes cairo as the only supported drawing system in the API.  For
example, one wouldn't be able to use OpenGL for drawing anymore.

Instead I suggest an opaque object be passed to the draw function, then have
constructors for various drawing APIs.  Say:

cairo_t *
gtk_themeable_window_create_cairo (GtkThemeableWindow *w);
