[racket] Embedding a GUI editor into Slideshows

That does work for me, in the latest pre-release under mac os x. I
have a vague recollection that there was a linux bug related to this
that has been fixed, but I'm not sure.

One thing to try to work around it (if upgrading isn't an option) is
to actually create the frame inside the callback:

#lang slideshow
(require racket/gui)

(slide
 #:title "Test"
 (clickback (hyperlinkize (t "Hello"))
            (λ ()
              (define frame (new frame% [label "Example"]))

              (define msg (new message% [parent frame]
                               [label "No events so far..."]))

              (new button% [parent frame]
                   [label "Click Me"]
                   (callback (λ (button event)
                               (send msg set-label "Button click"))))

              (send frame show #t))))
