You may be overestimating the futuristicness of something more useful 
than GnomeCanvas ;-)

e.g. the HippoCanvas I wrote in 3 days lacks some stuff (i.e. I didn't 
bother to support events other than button press), but it's already more 
useful than GnomeCanvas because it supports layout (width-for-height 
layout even). I'm sure the other more serious existing implementations 
have also surpassed GnomeCanvas already.
