It feels good to see you working on the GUI side.

OK, here's a first problem: This breaks the layout of the PD main
window, at least on Linux. We don't have a global menu at the top of
the screen, so now the longer menu is wrapped into the to small pd
window, which looks like sh*t. So either the menu for the main window
must shrink, or the window must grow.

Personally I don't like the shadows, they look cool, but thy clutter
the patch area, that is always too small anyways. How could I get rif
of them?

I want back my obj- and my bin-directory :)

Both are gone, is this my fault while checking things out?
