I found what's going on. By default Ubuntu ships with python-cairo
1.4.12 (on 9.04 and currently on 9.10 as well).

But pygoocanvas requires a pycairo >= 1.8.0

I installed pycairo 1.8.4 but it is installed by default
in /usr/local/lib. When I run a pygoocanvas application, obviously the
installed version in /usr/lib is used. I made a link 
/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/cairo
-> /usr/local/lib/python2.6/site-packages/cairo/

and it works.

Next stage, that's a real mess, what is the process to distribute a
pygoocanvas application. Why does goocanvas 0.14 requires cairo 1.4
while pygoocanvas requires pycairo 1.8 ?
