It looks slick and nicely done (congrats!) as a Cairo version of
GnomeCanvas, but I think you could do so much more - you probably saw my
earlier mail:
http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gtk-devel-list/2005-August/msg00067.html

To summarize my wishlist:
 - animations
 - behaviors
 - mixing in widgets (including layering and events)
 - multiple views (you have this one already)
 - path item (you have a shape item, but it's "abstract"
   it looks like, not concrete)
 - data/markup form of the object graph, with an 
   artist-usable editor
 - layout management

One minor thing I noticed while looking at the code,
I'd make the objects more opaque, you have lots of data fields
and private-looking functions in the public headers.
