Just FYI, there's an old library called libgnomecanvas that
draws
things into client-side buffers with the libart library.
That's been
"part of" GNOME for a while (I think) but it's
widely regarded as
something to be moved away from.

More recently, there are libraries like goocanvas that draw
using
cairo, (and therefore can draw into client-side buffers or
into X
drawables with the X Render extension or into win32 windows
or PDF,
PS, SVG files, etc.).

There's been talk of adopting a canvas into GTK+ itself,
(goocanvas is
certainly a contender for that), but no firm decision has
been made on
that front yet.
