+ Informs cairo of the new size of the X Drawable underlying the surface. For a surface created
+ for a Window (rather than a Pixmap), this function must be called each time the size of the
+ window changes. (For a subwindow, you are normally resizing the window yourself, but for a
+ toplevel window, it is necessary to listen for ConfigureNotify events.)
+
+ A Pixmap can never change size, so it is never necessary to call this function on a surface
+ created for a Pixmap.
