Hi Tom-

In Fallback, you can place any transparent bitmap to see the green 
circle.  A good example is attached to the bug report [1].  This is due 
to lines 382-385 in cairo_gal.cpp

Similarly, the arc question is about line 228 of cairo_gal.cpp.  We used 
to draw a circle and I was wondering what the reason was that it changed 
to the partial arc.
