Dear sugar,

I have made an activity with the world's simplest GUI: one button, and one text
display field.  I used a HippoCanvas and added a gtk.Button and a gtk.Label.  It
works.  It's ugly.  The default color of the button is the same as the color of
the canvas, so it's invisible.  The fonts and shapes don't look like the
pictures in the Sugar HIG.

I then found sugar.graphics.button.CanvasButton and hippo.CanvasText.  I tried
to switch to them, but they are totally undocumented, so I have no idea how to
use them.  I asked on IRC, and was told that we are moving to GTK.

As an activity developer, what widgets and canvas am I supposed to use?
