Gnome Canvas Transparency

["Chris Garrett" <garrett91 hotmail com>]

Hi,

I have created a gnome canvas and I can display a pixbuf on it.  The pixbuf 
has an alpha channel, which is renders fine.

I would like to know how to put a chequered background on the canvas so that 
it can be seen through transparent areas of the image.  I could add another 
pixbuf behind it, but then when the canvas is zoomed, so would the chequered 
pixbuf (I want the squares to stay the same size, and to tile all the way 
across the canvas).

Any ideas?

Chris.
