No, this is not yet doable.
We had some point to do that, but then we also had too much work already
:-(
Note that implementing something like this is really complex, as we have
discovered while writing gtkada-mdi.adb, and will take quite a lot of
time, since the container has to transmit most of the events to the
child widget.

What do you have in mind ? Why would the canvas help ? Can't you simply
use a Gtk.Fixed widget ?
