 Running:

    python build/share/sugar/shell/intro/intro.py

 Causes a segmentation fault if cairo/pycairo-1.4.12 is installed as
 pycairo no longer checks for a null value on the PyTypeObject in pycairo-
 context.c : PyCairoContext_FromContext and a null value is passed.

 Reverting to cairo/pycairo-1.4.0 solved the problem.

 Stack trace attached.
