Description
racket/gui has no support for builtin gtk icons (out of the box), and most widgets (such as text-field%) don't need to be using a canvas under the hood (though, this canvas is capable of exposure, and thus backwards incompatible - Perhaps it could fall back to canvas when a canvas is requested?).

Research direction
Start by reading the racket/gui implementation around GTK icon support, text-field%, and canvas exposure behavior. Determine the intended built-in icon support and whether non-canvas widgets can remain compatible when a canvas is explicitly requested; done requires an agreed design and corresponding implementation coverage.
