           Summary: The interface to ImageSurface() is not very useful when
                    working in monodevelop
           Product: Mono: Class Libraries
           Version: 1.2
          Platform: i686
        OS/Version: Ubuntu
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P5 - None
         Component: Mono.Cairo
        AssignedTo: mono-bugs at ximian.com
        ReportedBy: anders at iola.dk

I was converting some code that used the old Gdk.Pixbuf interface to cairo and
stumpled upon the following problem: Gdk.Pixbuf has a constructor that takes an
assembly and a filename to load. This works really well in monodevelop where
one often can embed resources inside the assembly. The constructor interface to
Cairo.Imagesurface only takes a filename and thus can't work with resources
unless one does all kinds of ugly tricks in order to map resources to files. A
constructor for imagesurface that can works with assemblies would be very much
appreciated.
