What effect are you trying to create? You're fighting the toolkit every
step of the way here, this is most likely not a good idea.

You could make the notebook a child of the layout, then the pixmap, but
I'm not sure the stacking order is defined. In any case it's a bad hack
and there's probably a better way if you tell us more generally what you
want to achieve.
