It's rather hard to tell, unfortunately.  Raph should be able to verify
that, though.

So ezpaint is a library on top of the canvas?  The example code didn't
tell me much, funtionality-wise...  If you could describe how it fits in
with the canvas, or point me to some docs, I can see what I have time to
do.

Yeah, I need to find out about the gdome stuff, bonobo, etc.  Especially
if I'm going to make a pagemaker-ish program, being able to embed
arbitrary documents of varying types right into the thing would be
immensely useful.
