Cool!

Btw please do not use raw pixels to specify margin, padding etc. You can use the sugar/graphics/units.py helpers to do conversion from points. A little annoying but it ensure stuff looks good both in the emulator and on the XO. At some point we want to add support for units to HippoCanvas (and a way to set the canvas zoom factor) to avoid the extra typing.
