Re: support of feathered edge in GnomeRectCanvasItem

[Lauris Kaplinski <lauris ximian com>]

Hello!

It is trivial to add, and seems good idea to me, and I even remember 
discussing it among developers, but nobody did it then, and
unfortunately is API change (although addition), so I am quite sure 
maintainers do not want to do that before 2.0.0.

But if you need such thing in your own code, writing customized
canvasitem for that should be around 50 lines of code (just
check GnomeCanvasRect part of gnome-canvas-rect-ellipse.c and
add 4-8 curvetos).

Best wishes,
Lauris Kaplinski
