Indeed it should.

I think maybe it depends on when you're calling get_bounds()  (i  
assume you were calling get_bounds() to get the bounding box?).

I tried hooking up your example snippet into a tiny wrapper program  
to see what it did, and if i tried to show the bounding box  
immediately after creating the canvas items, i got nothing; however,  
if i set a single-shot idle to fire after the widgets were fully  
realized and drawn, i got a valid-looking bounding box.
