 Replying to [comment:7 mlennert]:

 > And do I understand correctly that g.cairocomp is need to use the GUI,
 at least when using the default cairo driver ?

 No. At present, g.cairocomp isn't used.

 Using the cairo driver to generate X pixmaps which can be composited by
 g.cairocomp offers a faster alternative to using PNM files, but it
 requires X, the XRender extension, and a recent version of cairo built
 with X and XRender support. Even if/when the GUI does use g.cairocomp, the
 use of PNM files will still need to be retained as a fallback.
