Many thanks--this fixed the issue.

The power of canvas is not really what I'm after. What I would like is a
list of checkboxes (and, in a few other frames, several buttons); if a
scrollable frame were available in tkinter, I'd use that. While canvas is
powerful, its power is not needed for my purposes.
