I had tested this with the gnu-gnu-gnu combo built on OS X (Leopard for 
PowerPC, Snow Leopard for x86) and exporting the display to the other machine.

I now have updated the Ubuntu 10.04 installation on the PowerBook as well and 
running applications there with the display exported to an x86 machine works. 
So maybe the issue is somewhere in the Cairo libs? On the OS X machines I'm 
using cairo 1.10.2 from MacPorts, whereas on Ubuntu I have 1.8.10 installed.
