in that case it should be in gnome libs then :) ...

how about a compromise though .. split gnome canvas into two widgets,
a simple gtkcanvas .... and then derive a gnomecanvas from that ...
the gtk canvas would have the rudimentary stuff, the gnome canvas would
add font and image support and other stuff that is gnommish ...

that would give gtk only users a basic canvas, and you could still add
more gnome type stuff on the gnome side
