it works, more or less. it's slower than gdk, but then, it's doing a lot
more (and nobody's profiled or optimized it). also some of the font stuff
is more fragile, and some of the fancier stuff (custom compositing operators)
just fail outright.

to test it out, you have to get it built (and get the configury finding the
appropriate cflags, etc. as in libgcj), and then there's a system property you
set to switch between GdkGraphics and GdkGraphics2D (which uses cairo):

 -Dgnu.java.awt.peer.gtk.Graphics=Graphics     <- uses GDK (the default)
 -Dgnu.java.awt.peer.gtk.Graphics=Graphics2D   <- uses cairo
