[PD-dev] small regression regarding window placement

[Miller Puckette]

Found it... firther down in g_canvas.c:

    if (yloc < GLIST_DEFCANVASYLOC)
        yloc = GLIST_DEFCANVASYLOC;
    if (xloc < 0)
        xloc = 0;

I'm not sure what the correct foolproofing should be (or indeed if it's a good
idea to have foolproofing there at all).  But anyhow removing those lines will
make it possible for patches to restore themselves wherever they were saved
from.

cheers
Miller
