This is good news!

About a year ago Torsten and muppet informed me that the Gnome2::Canvas 
days were numbered (it has been deprecated). muppet said that the 
Gnome2::Canvas would be available for about a year to 18 months.

So I suppose it's time to make the switch to Cairo. Just one thing 
concerns me at the moment. Can I use Glib::Object::Subclass with Cairo 
to create and respond to signals as I can with Gnome2::Canvas ?
