Despite its name, GnomeCanvas does not require GNOME libraries; in fact,
it has been successfully used (directly, or through bindings) on other
platforms, like win32.

There has been an effort (as part of Project Ridley) on creating a new
canvas widget using Cairo; at least two canvases have been written that
I recall: Goocanvas (which has had Python bindings recently added) and
CCC - probably I am forgetting some other project.
