I think it should be documented in fglrx instead. The behavior of
1.8.10-5 is buggy anyway, so we just came back and gave fglrx users an
opportunity to have a working gecko/webkit.

However nobody is going to look for the solution in the cairo
documentation. Ideally, I’d even say this variable should be set by
fglrx in a Xsession startup script if the driver is being used, instead
of being documented (remember, no one reads documentation).
