[PD] GUI overload

[Ivica Ico Bukvic]

While you're at it, it would be great if you could also try pd-l2ork and
report any gui overload issues. There are debs available on the site
(http://l2ork.music.vt.edu), although the most up-to-date ones are found in
the http://l2ork.music.vt.edu/data/pd/ folder. You can also install from git
using automated install script.

Best wishes,

Ico
