You know, Im not that sure about the status of gnome canvas, as its
a gobject it could surely be built by builder, but I dont know what youll
get in support for it, is it actively maintained ?

Im at a bit of a loss, I dont know what will be the future of canvas
widgets, there hasnt been one blessed afaik. you might try asking
on the gtk+ lists...
