I saw that capability (widget in canvas) mentioned, just never had 
occasion to use it so it never got Celtk-ized. And at this point you may 
really have to fork Celtk to take it forward in re use of Tk widgets 
since I am concentrating on Cello for widgets. Maybe pick a new name and 
start a c-l.net project?

<g> Given the number of Powerbooks I see at Lisp conferences, they might 
be missing an opportunity. But, hey, stop whining, how hard would it be 
to whip up a find-definitions dialog using Celtk? I once did a killer 
inspector using Cello. Do the classic incremental thing, just get ACL to 
pop up a list of definitions using as much standard mop as possible. 
Costanza has done some work on a portable MOP, maybe contrib to that as 
you go (since moppery will be needed to replicate the ACL IDE).

Needless to say, a Slime-killer is something I would love to do just to 
piss off the Yobbos, and if I end up switching to LW for enough work it 
might just happen. Not yet, tho.
