    GtkPixelCache is a helper utility that lets you implement
    faster scrolling of a viewport of a canvas by using an
    offscreen pixmap cache.
    
    You call _gtk_pixel_cache_draw with a callback function that
    does the drawing, and additionally you specify the size and the
    position of the viewport in the widget, and the position and size
    of the canvas wrt the viewport. The callback will be called to
    draw on an offscreen surface, and the surface will be drawn
    on the window. The next time you do the same, any already drawn
    pieces of the surface are re-used from the offscreen and need
    not be rendered again.
    
    If things inside the canvas change you need to call
    _gtk_pixel_cache_invalidate to tell the cache about this.
    
    Some other details:
    
    * The offscreen surface is generally a bit larger than
      the viewport, so scrolling a small amount can often
      be done without redrawing children.
    * If the canvas is not larger than the viewport no
      offscreen surface is used.

    We were using OVER for the first copy (from source to group surface.
