It would probably be easiest to make each area be a seperate window. Don't
worry about creating too many windows; they have a pretty low overhead.
When each logical item (button, message window, tooltip, etc.) in the
display is a window, moving it or unmapping it will automatically move or
unmap any child windows. Also, if you move a window to a different
location on the screen you don't need to worry about what the new absolute
location of the items displayed within the area, are as they are still in
the same position relative to their parent window. Just my humble opinion.
