One thing that your announcement doesn't make clear, and which I'm
curious about, is what motivated this.  You say that this is intended
to "behaves identically to the GnomeCanvas widget, with the same APIs,
except the API names are changed from gnome_canvas to gtk_canvas".
However, you never explain why this would be desirable.  Surely
there's more to this than 's/gnome_/gtk_/g', but you don't say what
more this port offers.

Care to explain?
