Yes, you are describing gtk-canvas: a gtk based drawing area widget that can embed other gtk widgets. Pretty much a gtk-only clone of the gnome canvas widget which itself is a (bad!) clone of the TCL canvas widget (which you probably know :-) > It was there in the documentation with the comment > that it would be slower.

But I thought I emailed about it and wrote a proposal on denemo.org Unfortunately gtk-canvas is dead. It was never integrated into gtk core. A promissing successor: GooCanvas (http://live.gnome.org/GooCanvas) - a similar gtk widget that can incorporate other gtk widgets (see: http://developer.gnome.org/goocanvas/unstable/GooCanvasWidget.html) > > That looks pretty extensive stuff - Nils and Dan Wilckens have both > suggested we adopt a completely new drawing approach, but no-one is > available to take it on. Any pointer to the discussion? Not that I would have time to reimplement the drawing engine but I'd like to read about the problems you seen with the current approach.
