[PD] map map map...

[Miller Puckette]

Hi all,

I've stopped using Gnome because, every time I open a new window in Pd,
Gnome frets for a second or 2 before showing it.  I recommend the much
faster and lighter "FVWM2" instead.

But I'm planning to try Krzyzstof's edition and see if that helps things
at all.  I don't remember why that "raise" thing is there in the first place!

cheers
Miller
