Well, no, it was literally what I wrote - another gtk widget, that acted
like a GtkDrawingArea but could have buttons etc as children, placed on
the drawing area. It was there in the documentation with the comment
that it would be slower. I use the online documentation, so it if it has
really vanished perhaps it was just in some development and got
dropped... But I thought I emailed about it and wrote a proposal on
denemo.org

That looks pretty extensive stuff - Nils and Dan Wilckens have both
suggested we adopt a completely new drawing approach, but no-one is
available to take it on.
It is really great to get some knowledgeable feedback - thanks!
