Not really. In any case, the issues of using a 'canvas' for gui
development are more involved than what's listed there.
Havoc Pennington has a fairly good post recently on the gtk-
devel list about that (in relation to the 'future' of gtk).
Many of those things have been addressed already by others in
one form or another. Right now, there are several fully or partly
foss projects out there which do this.. "e" can be considered one such,
and qt in part, but there are others like Mozilla, Flex, JavaFX, and
of course the not-so-foss WPF.
Frankly, unless the "g" community has a clearly better vision
than any of these, then it might simply be better for them to adopt
one such and just let gtk fade away. But that's a hard thing for people
to do - prior time and effort invested, personal influence, corporate
backings, and such.
Here's a vision: A new breed of young, hungry desktop *and* web
developers, fed up with the limitations imposed by the aristocracies
of the "g", "q", "e", ... embrace Mozilla and develop a complete
web/desktop/embedded "rich" stack -- Behold, the rise of "m"!
Scary... :)
