I dislike the name change.  Think of the prefix as the "Foundry" that
provided the code.  

Just like the fonts in X, you dont go changing "Adobe-...-Courier" to
"X-...-Courier" either.

This should be fixed in the Gtk/Perl bindings, they should not be
using Gtk::Gnome::Something (as it is the case right now), but rather,
we need a new toplevel, like this:

   new Gnome::Canvas
