I'm working on an application using Gnome.Canvas, and I'm looking to
have quite a few smaller CanvasItems above a big "base" CanvasItem. The
"base" canvas item i'd like to have receiving all the events, and let
them be handled there. The docs for the gnomecanvas library say the
handler should return false if it wants the parent canvasitem to handle
the event, and AFAIK, this should be done by doing something like:

void OnCanvasEvent(object obj, CanvasEventArgs args) {
	args.RetVal =3D false;
	return;
}

But trying this any events are always caught by the upper-most
CanvasItem... Suggestions? Is this the proper way to get events handed
up the hierarchy?

Attached is a small sample demonstrating the current behavior. Idealy,
we'd see a call from the C.WL in the handler for the rear item no matter
where on the canvas your clicked, moved, etc. Thanks in advance.
