But notice the error tells the user that the proc expects five args, and 
not seven args like your revision of pdtk_canvas_sendkey.  This is 
because matju told Gridflow to steal the pdtk_canvas_sendkey proc and 
renamed it to pdtk_canvas_sendqui (which is pretty funny in itself), and 
then it sends tcl a brand new pdtk_canvas_sendkey proc with 5 args and 
code that presumably has to do with unicode support.  I say that because 
you can find it in the Gridflow source file named "unicorn.cxx" (which 
is also funny in itself).

So if you can figure out what it's doing, you can try to merging it into 
Pd-l2ork or at least make it compatible with it.  But there are probably 
several other places where matju drilled into Pd's walls from the 
outside, and they probably conflict with Pd-l2ork's renovations.  
(Probably the widgetbehavior struct and comment struct conflict.)
