No need to be rude, mr. Lamont.

You see, it might not be me who's not "listening", it could be you: I am
now talking about a PIXMAP object, not a canvas, so you should know better
than me that fl_get_canvas_id() on a pixmap object is not the correct
answer...

...

Now, let's get things civilized. I am most grateful for you being a
person that is always there to answer our (in this case my) questions, but
I was under the assumption that this mailing list was all about helping
people, newcomers like me or not, to solve there problems. I could now
start talking about how I have to constantly bug all the people in the
list because you try to read my emails diagonaly, obviously because of
some reason like you thinking I'm "too rash" or "too pushy", but I think
that this could ruin everything since, as I said before, I am truly
grateful for your answers. So please, let's let bygones be bygones.

...

Anyhow, I must remind everyone that when I had v0.81 FL_ObjWin() worked
for Xlib and now it doesn't.

Thank you all, and no hard feelings please,
JFC
