The subsurfaces example creates a subsurface widget and uses EGL to
render to it directly rather than using the cairo context from the
widget. In theory this shouldn't cause any problems because the westoy
window code lazily creates the cairo surface when an application
creates a cairo context. However commit fdca95c7 changed the behaviour
to force the lazy creation at the beginning of each surface redraw.
This ends up making the triangle surface get two attaches – one from
Cairo and one from the direct EGL.
It looks like it would be difficult to reinstate the lazy surface
creation behaviour whilst still maintaining the error handling for
surface creation because none of the redraw handlers in the example
clients are designed to cope with that. Instead, this patch adds an
explicit option on a widget to disable creating the Cairo surface and
the subsurface example now uses that.

Weston Weston is the reference implementation of a Wayland compositor, and a useful compositor in its own right. Weston has various backends that lets it run on Linux kernel modesetting and evdev input as well as under X11. Weston ships with a few example clients, from simple clients that demonstrate certain aspects of the protocol to more complete clients and a simplistic toolkit. There is also a quite capable terminal emulator (weston-terminal) and an toy/example desktop shell. Finally, weston also provides integration with the Xorg server and can pull X clients into the Wayland desktop and act as a X window manager. Refer to http://wayland.freedesktop.org/building.html for buiding weston and its dependencies.
