 I don't understand in enough detail how all that stuff works, but I'd say 
that the answer is that not always. I think application code is not involved 
in tdf#104878, and even if, it's Impress, the app that AFAIK should be the 
most adapted to drawinglayer&friends, so there is probably something wrong if 
even that one can't get it right. And I definitely remember dumb things in 
graphics stack code, a random example that comes to mind is Impress/canvas 
having 0% hit rate for cached scaled bitmaps (with at leats two different 
reasons for the caching being broken).
