Plugins on Unix communicate in terms of X11 primitives. See https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Gecko_Plugin_API_Reference/Drawing_and_Event_Handling#Receiving_a_Paint_Message

Thus to have support for plugins you need to have X11. If there's some way to fix this for DirectFB please re-open, but it's essential that we can use the X11 support in Cairo.

I'm not sure the DirectFB build is linking against libgdk-x11-2.0.so.0, but likely it's being pulled in via pkg-config. I'm fairly certain don't link against it manually.
