[plt-scheme] OS-dependent behavior of canvas%'s on-subwindow-char method (v3.99)

Sure.  If I run the following (in Pretty Big) on my Mac, click in the
window, and start typing, the REPL prints a bunch of "got subwindow
char" messages.  In Windows XP, nothing happens.

Interestingly, if I instead override on-subwindow-char in the frame,
then I do get the events in Windows, and I get each event twice on the
Mac (just from the frame).

(define f (new frame% [label "foo"] [width 300] [height 200]))
(send f show #t)
(define c (new (class canvas%
                 (super-new)
                 (define/override (on-subwindow-char . args)
                   (printf "got subwindow char~n")))
               [parent f]))
