It's normal that external resources don't survive a snapshot, whatever format.

But it's well behaved to try to re-allocate resources on resurrection.

As a dumb user, I would expect this to happen automatically under the hood, because I would consider that a surface/pixmap or whatever resource is implied in displaying/handling the graphics is an implementation detail which I should not care of at my own level.
The library could provide hook for accessing these low level details in rare cases when user want special optimization, but should hide them otherwise.

I face the same situation... Would be great to fix this
