If you think you need to rip off the canvas sources and include them
directly into your program, please feel free to do so.  This would of
course mean using the Gtk+ object system directly with respect to the
canvas; it would not be wrapped by whatever Gtk+ wrapper you may be
using.  Of course, if you write the code to wrap it properly, I'm sure
nobody would complain :-)
