[lazarus] Speedbutton questions

[Shane Miller]

Speed buttons are really just canvas'.  They paint the border around themselves so they look like buttons and then paint the glyph onto themselves.

I am trying to figure out how to implement them.  
In gtkobject I'm not sure if I should create a gtkdrawingarea or if I should create nothing and just use the canvas.  can I paint to the canvas and have it draw where the fleft, ftop, are or do I need a widget there first for the canvas to draw on?

Any idea's on this one?
