[PD] numberbox bug report

There's a longstanding problem with the way number boxes grab keyboard input
(by binding themselves to a symbol, related to the "receive set" bug
people were just talking about.)  I'm going to fix it but it will require
changing the way "key" events are dispatched in g_canvas.c.

cheers
