#521 shadings do not work with pgfpageuselayout{resize to} and xelatex

[David Purton]

When using pgfpages and pgfpagesuselayout{resize to} to resize a page on to a different size page, shadings do not show with xelatex.

Setting the driver to pgfsys-dvipdfm.def allows shadings to work, but (presumably) may result in other problems.

MWE:

\documentclass[letterpaper]{article}
\usepackage{tikz}
\usepackage{pgfpages}
\pgfpagesuselayout{resize to}[a4paper]
\begin{document}
\tikz{\shadedraw (0,0) rectangle (3,1);}
\end{document}

I discovered this while trying to answer this question.
