Right but I have no idea what GearWindow might do that could
prevent things 'under' the canvas from getting drawn.

The canvas is transparent unless something draws something.
Since you have set the Swing fill to transparent, that leaves only
the SVG document or the Window as possible problems. Have you
seen what happens if you set the fill of the canvas to a solid
color (like bright green)? If you don't see that then something
in your document is filling the canvas. Likewise if you set
the background of the of Window to a bright color do you see that?
What is it you expect to see under the canvas?
