[PD-dev] dialog start locations

[Dan Wilcox]

I think the Tk 8.5 ttk::Notebook would work well. I've been nailing a lot of small things for Tk 8.5+ on OSX, so I'm feeling confident about being able to drop the Tk 8.4 requirement and possibly jumping to 8.6. I have test version of Pd running both 8.5.19 & 8.6.5.
