I assume you mean a gnome.org svn account?  I'm not sure how strict
the sysadmins are for the project prerequisites, but libgoocanvasmm
doesn't seem to satisfy number 3 from this list:
http://live.gnome.org/ProjectPrerequisites
"3. It must be maintained, and already have had at least one public release."

Maybe murray can pull some strings, though.  Or we could push out a
release quickly :)

In addition, I think it would be good to do the repository cleanup
(i.e. removing the patched goocanvas) before importing it into gnome
svn.  I'll do that now.
