BTW. This is only somewhat on-topic, but...
as a history, GtkCanvas is essentially the same as the Gtk+-1.2
GnomeCanvas, but available in a separate package and with functions
renamed accordingly. GnomeCanvas used to be available only as a part of
the Gnome libraries.
the Gtk+-2.0 version of GnomeCanvas is available as a separate package,
which does not depend on anything but Gtk+-2.0 and libart (which is one
of the canvas backends in 2.0 as well). So, I know why paul pushes
GtkCanvas, but people looking for a maintained package and don't mind
Gtk+-2.0 (which is very stable) should take a look at the GnomeCanvas
instead.
And of course, as Richard mentioned, there's a Qt equivalent too ;)
best regards,
wingo.
