Xlib backend does not support rotation. Last time I tried the
semi-transparent
masks in Xlib, Xlib gave different results than art and art looked much
better.
So I guess there are a few problems with Xlib graphics, too.
I do hope that cairo backend will solve most or all the problems we have
on Unix.
