[PD] UI developer volunteering to help - more suggestions

[Hans-Christoph Steiner]

That bug is fixed on Pd-extended 0.40.3-20080515 on Mac OS X/Intel, I  
think it should be fixed on the other platforms as well.  I am not  
sure whether Miller has accepted that patch yet, but it should be in  
the tracker.
