Yes, cairo doesn't draw anything if I try initialise the values that way.

The problem is initialising the global values. They don't seem to work
if initialising them requires calling an external function.

like:
let height =3D get_lfb_height () (* where that is an external function *)

Basically, I want to avoid creating global refs, especially to more
complex structures.
