Attached is a debdiff for cairo (against the quantal version) that I believe partially fixes this problem. The other part is a change to gnome-control-center, and I will upload that debdiff shortly.
For cairo, I applied the following patches: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/cairo/commit/?id=83759e7d592c5d7b12b2341574fd584fe5e0fb5a http://cgit.freedesktop.org/cairo/commit/?id=df6780442feba5c0c9404353177f24913b58bd32 http://cgit.freedesktop.org/cairo/commit/?id=f34b87f6d76cbea93acd4a8c73c8c6a6b412a302 The above patches are in cairo versions 1.12.4 and later, so raring is not affected. I uploaded the modified cairo package to my PPA (<https://launchpad.net/~a7x/+archive/bug1043769>) and it has finished building.
