  First I sorry to bring back this discussion to the list,
that might not appear anymore if a definitive solution is found, and 
applied.

  Oh yes, that clearly shows the problem involved by this object, if 
it's deleted, I suppose (but didn't test) that the graph would take back 
it's original name and then messages sent through [namecanvas] argument 
sender won't come anymore to the targeted graph.

  The proposed solution seems very good and AFAIU it would appear like 
in this canvas pattern:

#X coords 0 1 99 -1 200 140 1 /$0-name-of-the-graph;

Unfortunately I've no clue how to do it myself yet, and hope this is not 
"talk for nothing".
