[PD] graph on parent-based crashes [workaround...]

[derek holzer]

allright, so maybe GOP crashes my windows, but because of that i 
discovered a very cool thing that maybe some of you already know...

skip all this buggy GOP stuff and just use the send and receive symbols 
of each GUI object to communicate with subpatches. i've got a very 
slick-looking new mixer running now, no wires showing at all, without 
the use of GOP. try it at home kids, and have a good evening...
