With gtk3 I see similar effect for normal (not toolbar) buttons, edits 
etc. Why do you think this is related to toolbars?

I solved the problem by the following change in renderAreaToPix: 
cairo_data[x*4+0] * alpha

         for (int x = 0; x < awidth && y < aheight; ++x)

cairo_data[x*4+2];
         }
         src += nStride;
         cairo_data += cairo_stride;

no idea of what's going on though, because I'm not familiar with alpha 
blending.

HTH,
