I did think briefly about doing such things, but I never coded anything
up.

An alternative I thought of, was to pack and unpack the drawing area
etc... from the v_box in the notebook page.

The borders on the Notebook aren't quite right when done the way you
suggest, but its certainly a lot easier than the codebase changes I've
had to make to "do it properly" (although I'm not convinced that is the
correct word for it).

I'll tinker with the code I've got for a little bit, but could very well
end up implementing your method.

Many thanks for the example code.
