For now, I would like GnomeCanvas to reside in gnome-libs.  I still
have to make some changes to it before it stabilizes.  Also, it is the
foundation of the calendar, the spreadsheet, and the presentations
program -- if these programs require changes to the canvas, I can make
them easily if the canvas is in gnome-libs, but I cannot do them as
easily if it is in Gtk.

People who want to use the canvas right now can simply install
gnome-libs, which a) is not difficult at all, and b) gives them a nice
application framework anyways.
