[PD] changing the look of Pd to be more readable

[Phil Stone]

The creeping window size problem exists in OS X as well.  I posted about 
it earlier this year under the thread "minor but persistent annoyances"  
(see: http://lists.puredata.info/pipermail/pd-list/2007-02/047450.html ).

It's still persists, and it's still very annoying.
