hi carmen,
today's toxy (alpha15) handles megawidgets much better -- subwidgets are inactive in edit mode, Frames seem to work as well, as Canvases. To appear in cvs later today, once I validate new cyclone stuff for a release.
However, widgets will never work perfectly in edit mode, unless Pd has a callback mechanism, allowing objects to register to be notified of mode changes. Currently, toxy widgets (and sub-widgets in alpha15) use a faked callback bound to <Enter> and <Leave> events.
