[PD] raspberry pi window position problem

[Samuel Freeman]

Hello all (long time lurking here),

 When I came across this problem in 2012, a hack similar to the
linked pdtk_canvas.tcl solution fixed things.

I encountered the same problem with a fresh install more recently, and was
loathed to go digging for the solution - I gave up too easily and went
playing with sonic pi instead! So I am happy to see this thread which
reignites plans for touch screen musicking!

Here's what I am here to add:

When changing the Raspbian configure.txt make sure to look through the
whole file to check for multiple instances of the disable_overscan line.

Hope that helps someone
