I have an application which basically consists of a window (canvas)
with lots of objects (child canvases) in it. I want to scroll around
the object space represented by the window.

Unfortunately, it seems that NeWS won't let a child canvas extend
beyond the top and left edges of its parent.

Two questions...
	(i) Why is it so?
	(ii) How do I get around it?
