Hi

I had some problems using GDD, especially with colors and with some advanced
plottings.

In my case I didnt try the Cairo, I just got back to the png() using Xvfb
(its almost 3 or 4 times slower than my first tries qith GDD, but using GDD
would cause me to rewirte some parts of my script)

Since my Xvfb "came back to normal" in cron mode, I didnt use the Cairo, but
mr urbanek really suggested it to me.

I dont know if you have something similar to Xvfb in Mac OSX
