[PD] stupid GUI tricks

In my opinion, this is not _stupid_ GUI tricks at all...
Being asked on the differences between Pd and Max/MSP, how many times
have I answered starting with "The GUI in pd isn't really as cool and
smart as it is in Max/MSP but the DSP capabilities are in the end very
similar".
My answer to the lack of GUI elegance is very often a salad of
overlaying [cnv]'s to make patches look more attractive and thus very
often more readable.
This kind of effort is not stupid, it is great GUI improvement in my
opinion.

Another off-thread thing : I'm really looking forward to the day pd will
not suffer that much from its GUI implementation : simple slider or
table visualization/monitoring sometimes being the main reason for a
ultra complex DSP patch to bo so heavy on the computer/resources ! (-:
