Oh, I misread your FAQ then, I was under the impression you were using gtkmm.

The QCanvas is indeed most likely inadequate for your needs. The rewrite 
scheduled to be released with Qt 4.1 should be much better, but I wouldn't 
bet on it fitting the bill. So yes, you're likely to have to write your own 
widget anyway, however the rendering capabilities of Qt4 would help you a 
lot.
