My main comment is that I think "region" is part of the rendering, and you don't seem to have the Cairo version. It may also be ok to scrap support for regions that are not rectangles.
Thanks for this comment. I had not realized the Cairo version of Fl_Region support is missing and will look into that.
 

I also feel that part of this would be to make it use Cairo for both X11 and Wayland, and scrap all xlib drawing and especially any API to get at them. This will also remove the need to have server-side offscreen buffers which are completely obsolete and never used by any other software. Cairo (and Windows and Mac) can draw into local memory buffers and these should be used.
Indeed, the hybrid Wayland/X11 library could use cairo-only rendering for its X11 backend.
Let's see what other developers think.
