[pygtk] Deriving new classes from CanvasItem or CanvasGroup

[Suresh Jeevanandam]

Steve, thanks for the response.

I had missed that part of calling parent's __init__ function.
With this call, now, I am able to add the custom canvas group into the
canvas.root() . However, canvas.root().add(MyNewItem, x=3D0, y=3D0) works f=
ine,
but returns an instance of gnomecanvas.CanvasGroup rather than my new type.
I have a set of methods defined on that class which I am not able to call.

Any pointer to some example code related to this would be of much help to
me. Thanks.
