Hi Derrell,

In my original patch, I wasn't removing the widgets first, as I figured 
it wasn't neccessary. The two plug-in's I had created used TextArea's of 
the same size, and the text changed when I switched between loaded 
plug-ins, so I figured it was working as I had expected. Then I changed 
the echo plug-in to allow user input into a TextField, added a button 
and shrunk the TextArea. From that point on, when I would switch from 
the nbt stats plug-in (a large textarea) to the echo plug-in, the new 
widgets were drawn on top of the large textarea being used by the other 
plug-in. This effect stopped once I removed the pre-existing widgets and 
added the new ones when switching.

One other thing that I changed that might have caused the problem was 
that in the first patch, I was drawing directly to the right pane of the 
  split pane, whereas now I'm placing a canvas into the right pane of 
the split pane and having the plug-ins draw on that. I haven't tested it 
to see if it's necessary anymore or not though.

Thanks,
Brad
