hasnt that been the case once ?
I don't want to do the implementation, because I am not  going to mess
around in the iem gui objects.
On the other hand, the state object has one big disadvantage, that is,
if you delete gui objects in a patch you can't load previously saved
states anymore. So we have to find a solution to name the objects
automatically and permanently (writing the name to the .pd files).
This way the states could be loaded after edits too.
