[Haskell-cafe] Drawing an existing image into a cairo surface?

[Jefferson Heard]

Sorry.  In a hurry, and I don't have a lot of time to read the
message, so if I'm offering a lot of info you already have, I
apologize.  The best thing to do is to allocate either a pixmap or
Gtk.DrawingArea -- you can then use widgetGetDrawable to get the
drawing context from it and newGC to take drawing context and get a
graphics context.  After you have a drawing and graphics context, you
can use drawPixbuf to draw or update any image you want, then use the
same DrawngArea for Cairo after you've drawing the image.

If you need more help with it, let me know, and I can send some code
that will do it later today.
