Could anyone please explain to me, why the program-fragment below doesn't
work?  My intention is to have two canvas in a window, and that both
canvas have a button on it, where the action of the buttons is to unmap
the canvas with the button, and then map the other canvas.  The two
canvas are called can1 and can2.  In the ideal world they should both
be children of the ClientCanvas of the window (here called "can").
But this doesn't work -- it seems as if changing the Mapped attribute
of the canvasses doesn't make any difference (except for input).
In order to illustrate the intented behaviour, I have changed the
parent of can1 to be the framebuffer, AND THEN ALL WORKS AS INTENDED
W.R.T. CAN1.  What's the problem?
