As stated, everything works as documented (somewhere)

The issue arose because I wouldn't expect anything like double buffering
in gtk. That's the reason 'expose-event' exist anyway, isn't it?
Also the pygtk documentation for gtk.gdk.Drawable.cairo_create doesn't
state it.

I sugest the pygtk doc for cairo_create and probably DrawingArea (cairo
is the prefered API anyways, is it?) be extended.
Maybe there should also be some warning or the like when drawing to an
outdated, gdk.Drawable originated cairo context.
