Hi Fredrik,

Re this bug report:

I can take care of the Canvas issues, but I need your advice on
bbox().  He's right that the bbox() method the Canvas class in the
Canvas module is different from all other bbox() methods: it returns a
tuple of tuples ((x1,y1),(x2,y2)) instead of a flat 4-tuple
(x,y1,x2,y2).

Do you think it's worth not breaking existing code here???
