[PD] UI developer volunteering to help - more suggestions

[João Pais]

ah, one other thing:

when pasting something that is outside the visible window, the window  
arrows don't show up automatically anymore. that is, you get the arrows  
only after doing something with the window size (and maybe making it  
redraw).

here's a patch to demonstrate this. this happens in both windows and  
ubuntu, afair.

it also happens with data structures, when some created graphics are too  
big for the window.
