Hello Thorsten, I did indeed use the --enable-xlib-xcb compile option with cairo. Not sure which window managers require this, but I thought it prudent to actually enable it rather than have to re-compile down the track. I also used the --enable-gl switch, as I am building full gnome and that is one of the requirements for wayland. So yep there are two experimental backends enabled in cairo.
