That canvas doesn't really exist at that point.  Tux Paint is still
starting up (all the user sees is the splash screen).

You could do something like:

  * Set a global variable to 'false' at _init()
  * If it's false at _switchin(), set it to 'true', and do the stuff
    you need to do once and only once (but when a canvas is available)

Out of curiosity, why did you need this?
