Don't mix 2 conceptually different things:

1. Antialiased canvas
2. Client-side rendering canvas

The most important quality of current libart-based canvas is not it's
smooth image
(I once wrote translator item, that rendered aa images to Gdk canvas),
but that
everything is rendered client-side. So it is actually much faster for
certain
graphic needs than server-side rendering canvas (the Gdk one).
