In such a canvas i don't think constraint solving or even
connection-points should be handled. Just generic code for "objects" that
can be "drawn" and positioned. Maybe some generic trasformation too. We
need to steal some ideas from gnome-canvas, combine with Dia ideas and new
ideas and make a perfect canvas.

Figure out how to get GnomeCanvas or a derived work into GTK+ itself.
