[PD] gop drawing

[Miller Puckette]

My memory on this isn't altogether reliable, but I believe I put in the
extra deletion to fix a situation in which sometimes inlets and outlets
on GOPs never got erased when the object was deleted.  I wasn't able to
figure out at the time how to get everything reliably erased exactly one
time, so I gave up and erased it all twice.

I have found the issue of when to draw and when to erase GOP stuff very hard 
to understand....

cheers
