You are creating four widgets:

 * A frame that contains

     * A pane (of min height 200)

     * A pane that contains

         * A canvas (of min height 200)

Since the canvas is not nested in the first pane, the frame is
constrained to be 400 pixels tall.

I think you probably meant to make the canvas a child of the first
pane, instead of having two panes. To do that, move the
`super-instantiate' for the enclosing pane% class to before the
creation of the canvas% instance, and get rid of the `pane' definition,
and change the `parent' canvas% argument from `pane' to `this'.
