## Simple Canvas Example

Here's a complete example application that creates a GooCanvas with a rectangle and a text item in it:

      #include <stdlib.h>
      #include <goocanvas.h>

      static gboolean on_rect_button_press (GooCanvasItem  *view,
                                            GooCanvasItem  *target,
                                            GdkEventButton *event,
                                            gpointer        data);

      static gboolean on_delete_event      (GtkWidget      *window,
                                            GdkEvent       *event,
