guile and canvas question

[dhawkins mines edu]

I was looking for someone to help me do some work with guile and gnome 
canvas widget.  I notice that there is a canvas-test program in the
guile-gnome directory which does not seem to work.  I hacked on it a
bit and was able to get to the point were it would come up (the
argument list had indeed changed).  However, I could not figure out
how to set the various parameters of the canvas items.  The test
program used strings, but this failed (wrong type of parameter).  I
tried symbols and keywords but neither of those worked either.  Any
help on this would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks.
