[PD-dev] small regression regarding window placement

[Hans-Christoph Steiner]

I say remove that bit entirely and let the GUI handle figuring out where the
window should go.  Pd should just relay the unadulterated values from the Pd
patch.  Only the GUI can figure this out, especially considering all of the
variations of window managers and platforms.  These days Tk will handle a lot
of this stuff for you.
