This is GTK+ and has not much to do with Cairo. Let's take a look anyway.

This line is what causes that warning. Let's quote the API docs:

 widget: the widget to draw. It must be drawable (see gtk_widget_is_drawable())
and a size must have been allocated

https://developer.gnome.org/gtk3/3.2/GtkWidget.html#gtk-widget-draw

Adding this code tells us that the widget isn't drawable, but I bet that it
doesn't have a size allocated yet, too.

   puts(gtk_widget_is_drawable((GtkWidget*)statistics) ? "yes" : "no");
