The canvas does not have a concept of internal geometry management.
You'll have to resize your widget by yourself, possibly in a
size_allocate handler for the canvas.

In your realize handler for the canvas, change the style's background
to whatever you want it to be.  Please see
gnome-libs/libgnomeui/gnome-icon-list.c and the gil_realize() function
for an example.
