Hi Sebastian,

I would like to keep these bug reports separate because of the following reasons.

1) The bug report #596192 was originally made for xorg-edgers PPA and for lucid and for the reason that newer libcairo2 brought about issues with emerald.
2) The bug report #601220 (this one) was originally made for maverick development release, where new libcairo2 was pulled in.
The issues concerning color blends seems to have quite much to do with gtk-themes (like human-theme_0.39).

Now, as it is not even clear if there is anything wrong in the package libcairo2 concerning the color blend issue, please keep these bug reports separate.

My workaround for the time being is to use a gtk-theme not using color blends.
I personally chose the theme "human-clearlooks" with controls "mist". At least with gnome-shell it works swiftly, whereas themes with color blends work much more slowly.
