my only concern is that this is increasing the version dependency merely for a
build-time requirement, and just to install some files that will rarely be
used.  Gnome2::Canvas needs nothing that has been added to Glib since 1.040,
and nothing that has been added to Gtk2 since 0.9something, but i made it
depend on 1.040 because that was the API freeze.

now, when somebody has a problem, i'm usually the first to say "you should
upgrade", but i understand that there are often extenuating circumstances and
i don't want to force upgrades where they are not needed.

so, unfortunately, false-2 sounds like a nice compromise.  but before that
could really happen, i'd definitely want to clean up the stuff in
canvas_demo... it's very messy.  :-/
