[plt-scheme] Mred - How to know which canvas is active?

Does the combination of `get-top-level-edit-target-window'
and the `get-edit-target-window' method (of a top-level-window)
work as expected?

I think `get-active-canvas' wouldn't work, because each editor has its
own canvas, and so both canvas would be "active".

Depending on the platform and the relevant callback, I can see why
`has-focus?' might not work. Menu items on X, for example, move the
focus to the menu temporarily.

Finally, clicking a button might move the focus to the button (on some
platforms). In that case, the only solution that comes to mind is to
override the `on-set-focus' method of the canvases, and explicitly
track which one most recently had the focus.
