 Sound reasonable? This is my first attempt at contributing to mono so
 please point out where I'm thinking incorrectly about things.

+In my opinion, Mono.Cairo can't and shouldn't depend on gtk-sharp
+which is what "the functionality of getting a cairo surface form a gdk
+window" would cause.
+
+Also, gdk_cairo_create is new in gtk2.8 so that is not available in
+the current gtk# binding, when it moves to the 2.8 api then this will
+work.  Although I am not sure if gtk# will use Mono.Cairo or its own
+internal binding.
+
+I recently added a Graphics.cs in Mono.Cairo/gtk/Samples that can be
+used in place of sysdraw.cs that will probably work on both linux and
+windows but have not been able to test it on windows yet.  Please try
+it and report back. Cairo.Graphics.SetTargetDrawable should probably
+be removed in favor of Cairo.Graphics.TargetSurface property and the
+various Surface types.
