Probably you should install a low latency kernel, take a look at the
Linux Audio Users Guide and its links at 
http://www.boosthardware.com/LAU/Linux_Audio_Users_Guide

Also running pd with "-realtime" will help. For that you would have to make
pd "setuid root", this means to issue this command as root:
# chmod +s /desktop/pd-0.35-test16/bin/pd

Congratulations. You could also do a "make install", which would copy stuff
from the desktop to its usual locations.

Try running PD by hand from a Terminal Window ("xterm") and keep this open
afterwards.

Or make a desktop shortcut for the command 
"xterm -e /desktop/pd-0.35-test16/bin/pd"
