After reading through 
http://cvs.gnome.org/viewcvs/gnome-python/gnome-python/gnomecanvas/canvas.override?rev=1.25&view=markup
it would appear the python binding of gnomecanvas has all the advanced 
anti-aliasing functionality disabled. Namely the line "ignore 
gnome_canvas_new_aa" and the following definition of _wrap_gnome_canvas_new.

Is there a reason for this? I was attracted to GTK because of its 
current and upcoming support for vector graphics. I can't understand why 
the python bindings would simply throw away such rare and useful 
functionality.

Sincerely,
Chris
