Hey KK,

Your message above in that bug report is a little cryptic because the current code and the patches previous suggested use pixbufs, while you talk about cairo surfaces.

Are you saying that the pixbuf code should be removed and replaced with dealing directly in cairo surfaces?

I'm a little confused because the bug is about pasting objects, and I can only assume that we get a pointer to a block of data when someone pastes things in and we stuff that into an image object of some kind.

Could you explain what you mean?

Martin,
