Good questions.. Don't know. A buffer canvas would be nice to
have for several reasons, but as you mention it may not be the best
way to realize a canvas widget for other reasons.. it also depends on
the semantic notions of child widgets vs sub-canvases. I think etk
takes a canvas widget as just a region of the underlying canvas of
the parent widget, and just feeds the events to that evas.

My itching has calmed down quite a bit over time since it
often feels like too much of a battle here in E land.. I'd hoped
to see some of the things Carsten mentioned he'd like to engage
edevelopers in - meets, discussions, coordination in plans, maybe
some hackfests, etc.. but it seems that kind of organization itself
takes more time than anyone really has.. :(
