I'm working on a program that uses pygoocanvas and pygtk and I'm running
into a strange problem.

What I'm trying to do is ask pygoocanvas/pycairo how large a string is
going to be when I paint it onto the screen. (So I can wrap a box around
it, etc).

I do this with goocanvas.Text(text="Hi") and then get_natural_extents()
which generally returns a width and height in thousands of pixels, which
seems wrong. :>

Is there a better way to ask for how big a text string would be?
