I am trying to place different widgets in various positions, (which
are chosen by the user using the mouse) within another widget.

I can place widget1 into my canvas_widget in the position I wish.
When I then place widget2 in position, widget1 moves to the top left
hand corner of the canvas_widget. each new widget added to the canvas
widget causes the last one to move position. How can I get the
children to stay in position when another child is added? I do not
know beforehand where the user will want the widgets so I can't fix
it that way. My canvas widget is a box widget within a form widget.
Even when I have it as a form widget the children move when a new
widget is added to it.

Thanking for your help.
