All right, here goes.  :)

 - both appear to be cutups of grrobot's board (?).
 - that one uses the old-style gtkobject interface, which I believe is
   now a wrapper around the new one (GtkTypeInfo -> GTypeInfo).
 - that one has an explicit set_size function, mine relies on GTK's
   set_usize().
 - that one looks like it handles non-window cairo widgets (I don't know
   the details of it).
 - that one has some drawing code built-in that displays "hello world",
   etc.
 - mine builds as a pkg-config-style library, that one is some
   source files to simply drop in to a project.

Really quite similar, though.  Definitely a duplication of effort. :\

Hmm, ok...  I didn't really intend for it to be a "demo", but rather a
library that I/others could build on top of.

I'll come back when I have a more convincing argument.  :)
