I am  positive for that  and I hope  Peter, the author of  the library
will include it.

i can only see  two horizontal (1px or so as height)  lines on top and
bottom  of the screen,  however I  tried to  replace pack  method with
grid:

(grid canvas 0 0 :sticky "nswe")

and the the bottom line seems to disappear.

I spent  a minute or  so moving the  mouse (and my eyes  are exploding
now! I  hope you will  add a disclaimer  for that!) and got  no crash,
sorry!
