When in doubt, I blame bunnies.

Oh, we all have our terms of endearment. :) I suppose in some circles 
its probably not the most complimentary term.  We take our blessings 
where we can get them.

I'm not familiar enough with all of the dialog code to give a blow by 
blow example but I've been an active user-participant in enough OSS over

What little work I've done in the Canvas code showed things were not 
always as easy as they appeared on first blush.
