Yes, this is not implemented. We need someone with a tablet and some 
spare time here :)

Both those problems look like this cairo bug (endianness problem on 
intel macs): https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8939. There is 
a patch attached which fixes the problem.

Regarding the experimental state of the port, there are still some 
pretty major bugs that need to be fixed before that changes (most 
noticably buggy menus and some event and font handling).

There has been some interest from people wanting to help out creating 
frameworks of GTK+ & co, but it's a lot of work and nobody is working on 
that right now, as far as I know.
