Is this because it was trying to update the Canvas whenever the child
Form was scrolled?
If the image is not changing, you may want to consider creating a
Pixmap and using XSetWindowBackgroundPixmap() to hang the image onto
the Canvas. Then the server will take care of updating the displayed
image instead of your application, avoiding much interaction with the
server.

There's no useful callback to the FormBrowser. The best I can suggest
is to use the Expose event handler as you had done originally.

Maybe not -- see above.

Unfortunately, that's not in the API at the moment -- it might be a
good thing to add.
The only the best I can offer is a hack.
In your expose event, call XGetGeometry() as follows
static int expose_handle( FL_OBJECT *ob, Window win,
int w, int h, XEvent *xev, void *data)
{
int x;
int y;
Window root;
unsigned int width;
unsigned int height;
unsigned int border_width;
unsigned int depth;
XGetGeometry( fl_get_display(), ob->form->window, &root,
&x, &y, &width, &height, &border_width, &depth );
[...]
`x' and `y' will give you the origin of the Form containing your
Canvas, relative to the origin of the FormBrowser. Flipping the signs
will give you the scrollbar offsets, in pixels.
