[plt-scheme] Double buffer (scheme/gui)

Probably you want to pass the 'no-autoclear style to the canvas%
object when you create it (I may have got the precise name wrong, but
it is listed in the docs for the initialization arguments to canvas%).

But you also probably want to only recreate the bitmaps when their
content changes, not every time the window is refreshed. In other
words, all but the last line below should be somewhere else, not in
the on-paint method.
