[PD] Pd-gui bug (was Re: search plugin update)

[Jonathan Wilkes]

Test1:
Gnome 3 (Fedora 15) -- no problems
Gnome 2.32.0 (Ubuntu Maverick) -- no problems

OSX 10.7 -- problem: window decoration behind Apple's menubar.

Test2:
Tried a little stand-alone version of my plugin.  Still specifying 0 0 screen coordinates, and 

Apple automatically puts the ".search" window below the menu bar, as it does for everything 

else I've ever seen in OSX except this issue.

Test3:
Tried any number of my PDDP help patches, which all have 0 0 specified as the coordinates 

for the patch window.  Again, Apple does the right thing and shifts it down an appropriate amount.

Test4:
Tried to fool wish on OSX into putting a toplevel underneath the menubar.  Can't do it.


Hypothesis: Something isn't set correctly in pd-gui, but all I can see (at a glance) are options 

that have nothing to do with window position, and some variables: menubarsize and windowframey.
