OK, I got a quick response from muppet on the perl-gtk list:

http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gtk-perl-list/2005-December/msg00012.html

It turns out that the Perl Gnome2::Canvas library on Ubuntu was built
against the 2.10 release of the libgnomecanvas library.  That library
has since been upgraded to 2.12 which has minor API differences and the
Perl package simply needs to be recompiled against the new version.

I've put a recompiled version of the package up on the Sprog site:

  http://sprog.sourceforge.net/install/ubuntu.html

I've also logged a bug with Ubuntu, so an official package will
hopefully appear eventually:
