Don't assume cairo is being used, quite often it isn't
Whilst Dia master now uses cairo to render on-screen the latest release
doesn't and neither do most of the export plugin-ins
Dia abstracts rendering though the (admitedly less than ideal)
DiaRenderer interface so that underlying logic (DiaObject etc) doesn't
need to know about the output (display or otherwise) and neither do
plugin-ins
