That's what I figured :(  Guess I'll have to do it the hard way.
Speaking of that, is there any way to redirect canvas item events to
another canvas item?  For example, if I am implemented a drag and drop
routine between canvas', while the user has the button pressed and is
moving a canvas item from one canvas to another, I would like to delete
the first item, create a new item in the new canvas, and have that new
item take over the button press/release event.  Is this possible?
