I've programmed a scrolled canvas by creating a big pixmap and
copying the visible part of it to the canvas window. If you
want to get the code, send me a mail.
You can copy the individual pixmaps into the big one (only one
Xlib-Function :-) ) and set a mouse event callback to handle
the click on different sectors.
