Hmm... Would I HAVE to have seperate windows for each pixmap? Or
is that just the best way to handle which one is clicked into? But I must
be on the right track as the placeholder I put on the form was a canvas
type. :-)

Hmm, I like the box around the positioner, I just wanted to set
a background instead of the plain gray one. Maybe I would have to code up a
PixmapPositioner type?

I don't know X programming, and would prefer not having to learn. ;-)
If it is really going to take that to get it to work I may have to, of
course, but in the short time I might just stay at using a text box until
the system gets farther along.
