I wonder why are you chose to use KGameCanvas? IIRC it was our fast-and-simple 
replacement to QGV in times QGV had major bugs which we couldn't live with.
Currently QGV quite more powerful and feature rich. I beleive it is to be used 
in preference to KGameCanvas.

By the way, questions to all: what's the status of KGameCanvas? Now that QGV 
had stabilized and matured should we keep it in libkdegames? Are there cases 
when KGameCanvas would be still prefered over QGV? Are there any games in 
kdegames which use it? (i didn't to grepping yet ;))

Cheers,
Dmitry.
