Because gnome-canvas-item-new takes varargs. Perhaps my canvas tree is
not up-to-date though. Not quite sure what's going on there.

Beside the point, there should be no need for procedural constructors.
(make <foo-class>) should do it. I've written a canvas app in C before,
I know that gnome-canvas-item-new does something else too. However, one
should be able to do that with a custom initialize method for the class,
or something along those lines.
