Cairo has a workaround to buggy RENDER code, which depends on the ServerVendor
returnt string exactly.
Gentoo installed X.org servers have a gentooized ServerVendor string, and the
check in cairo fails leading to nautilus desktop drawing corruption and other
things.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install gtk+-2.7.4 and its deps
2. launch GNOME with nautilus managed desktop not turnt off and a desktop
picture existing


Actual Results:  
Corrupted (repeating) desktop drawing if a background picture is used (instead
of a plain color background)

This is not a Gentoo bug. This is in fact a Cairo bug despite what Owen Taylor
says from his podium of Redhat.

Commented on gnome bug and proposed the same patch at freedesktop bug.

Gentoo now includes a patch to Cairo to properly detect the X vendor string.
Despite my concerns upstream, it's more important to have it fixed rather then
battle.
