Re: Canvas widget and drag and drop support

I shall say this once more and then go firmly to sleep ... The GTK development team are phasing out the use of imlib. GtkCanvas is being re-written to work with GdkPixbuf, which is integrated into GTK+2. There is therefore absolutely no point in porting GtkCanvas into PHP-GTK at this moment in time, even if we could, which we can't because as Markus so clearly stated, we don't have imlib.
