Me. Apple's X11 server (even in Lion) supports only 15 and 24 bit visuals.

Maybe it would be an option to make the surface class selection a bit more 
dynamic on X11 (if we don't use glitz)? If the X server supports 32-bit 
visuals, CairoContext would use XGCairoSurface and otherwise 
XGCairoXImageSurface?
