Do we really have to make GnomeCanvas depend on libglade? Could we not 
just add gnome_register_type_name() somewhere, and call

 gnome_register_type_name ("GnomeCanvas", gnome_canvas_get_type); 

In libgnomecanvas. This would store the typename in a table for libglade 
to look up.

I'm pretty ignorant of this issue, please flame me if i'm totally on 
crack.
