Hi Andre,
I think the problem is that you need to tell the Canvas to be
interactive/dynamic. If the Canvas looks at the document and doesn't
see any dynamic content it uses a quicker lower memory build that doesn't
support event handlers at all.
Check out FAQ 3.2:
http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/batik/faq.html
I had no idea what the problem was for quite some time
since the difference isn't between clicking on a 'g' or an 'a' element
it's between a document that has 'a' element or a document that doesn't
have an 'a' element.
