[PD] [PD-announce] pd 0.42-0 test 08 released

[Hans-Christoph Steiner]

Does the File-Open, etc bug only occur with Gnome installed?  How  
about KDE or others?  There is gnocl, which allows for native Gnome  
feel in Tk apps.

I think I addressed this problem in Pd-extended 0.40.3, IIRC, but it  
is kludgy,  I think I just 'lower'ed the window before opening the  
panel.

But it is bugs like this that has lead me to start rewriting pd.tk.  I  
think that if you use Tk in the way it was intended, it'll generally  
do the right thing by default.  But this is a weird with Pd since the  
pd process is involved in the window management too.

I had a solution to the de-minimize issue in my brain but I don't seem  
to recall what it was...
