[PD] Slider/Knob

I see; why not even showing outline and iolets as soon as the patch is
switched to edit mode?
But I must admit I don't know how to detect these events (object is hovered
/or/ patch switches to /from edit mode). I'll try to find existing similar
code, but maybe you have some pointers?
