I'm more or less sure that i'm missing something obvious here, but i can't
for the life of me work out how to position a pushbutton at an arbitrary
position on a canvas. 

I'm trying to create a canvas, on which there are both buttons & simple
graphics, and consequently i need a way to position the buttons in amongst
the graphics.

I can sort of see how i might get the same effect by creating a class with
my own redraw etc functions, but it seems a very elaborate way of getting a
simple effect.

thanks in advance

Martin
