[PD-dev] pd-gui 0.43: fixed position/size

[Hans-Christoph Steiner]

I'm not opposed to removing it as long as you are willing to test on  
all platforms (basic X11, GNOME, Mac OSX and Windows).  That's the  
scary part of making changes to GUI things like that.  I did most of  
my development using Mac OS X with X11 so I could run the same code in  
basic X11 and Mac OS X at the same time.  Then I'd do sessions in  
Ubuntu to test there.  Then I did occasional tests on Windows.
