This question already arrised on the misc@ mailing list. Theo's answere, quoted below, sounds quite reasonable to me:
"Our releases are thematic parodies, specifically permitted by law."
I think they don't want people there hanging around "just for fun". If you would be invited you would know the location. Apperantely you are not. Me neither;)
Please don't post here such nonsense!
Read at least the first sentence on http://cairographics.org/introduction: Cairo is a vector graphics library designed to provide high-quality display and print output.
That's what it is. A 2D vector graphic library with multiple backends, which means you can draw something and choose if you use as drawing backend X11, a PNG file, a PDF file, glitz (OpenGL) or something else.
Gtk3(?) will _use_ Cairo and it's X11 or glitz backend to draw it's widgets!
IIRC I _learned_ in a OO programming course that the usage of dynamic type information (like typeof()) isn't recommended. But I can't remember the exact reasons... just the obvious one that the compiler isn't able to check the correct usage of dynamic type infos.

AFAIK this security hole has nothing to do with the internet explorer!
i'm missing the patent on a "progress bar" which is pending in europe.
oh ... looks like you're rigth. I thought typeof() is working like the java instanceof()
nevermind
