Or, even better, we could just compare the 'surface' property from
within the core when a box changes parent, since that will support
self-emulation and dynamically generated surface objects.

Right?

I also don't think we should be passing 'true' but rather the new
surface object, simply because it gives a nice way of accessing the old
surface object through 'cascade'.
