Hi list,
If I create the canvas after(!) creating the gui-objects it will allways be on top of them (covering them).
yes
Is there any 'layer'-funktionality like in graphics-apps, or any message which I can send to it to put it to the background?
short answer: NO.
i just select all the objects that are covered by the canvas _but_ the canvas itself and make "Ctrl-X Ctrl-Z" to put them on top of the canvas (the inner state of the the so moved copy-n-pasted objects will be cleared!)
the first versions of canvas had this already built in (to be precise: it was really "Ctrl-A Ctrl-X Ctrl-V" which was naughtier as you would eventually loosing connections outside of the patch too) but this is gone (as it pretended to be a solution while it was a dirty hack)

p.s.: I'm on debian sid, pd 0.38.4
so Ctrl-Z will work
