Interesting test results. It would be quite nice if Tcl/Tk handled
the window placement for non-PatchWindows. Part of the problem there
is that the .pd fileformat stores the location of the windows, and
therefore Pd explicitly places the windows using those coordinates.
That might be related here, but maybe not.
As for Test 3 & 4, that's not Apple that properly places the patch
window beneath the menubar, that's code in 'pd-gui'. Check out
pdtk_canvas_new in pdtk_canvas.tcl.

Test1:
Gnome 3 (Fedora 15) -- no problems
Gnome 2.32.0 (Ubuntu Maverick) -- no problems
OSX 10.7 -- problem: window decoration behind Apple's menubar.
Test2:
Tried a little stand-alone version of my plugin. Still specifying 0
0 screen coordinates, and
Apple automatically puts the ".search" window below the menu bar, as
it does for everything
else I've ever seen in OSX except this issue.
Test3:
Tried any number of my PDDP help patches, which all have 0 0
specified as the coordinates
for the patch window. Again, Apple does the right thing and shifts
it down an appropriate amount.
Test4:
Tried to fool wish on OSX into putting a toplevel underneath the
menubar. Can't do it.
Hypothesis: Something isn't set correctly in pd-gui, but all I can
see (at a glance) are options
that have nothing to do with window position, and some variables:
menubarsize and windowframey.

0 0 is problematic on couple platforms. On Mac OS X, the menubar
is always
there, so it puts the window header behind on menubar. A similar
problem
happens on GNOME.

Ok, fixed the weird resizing issue when the text in the status
area is
larger than the window.
Fixed search window to appear at 0 0 on when it's first created.
Fixed font sizing bindings.
Fixed minimum font size.

When I designed some things in the default DD keyboard

Québec) and then someone notified me that I couldn't
distinguish
Alt+Shift+1 from Alt+1 because 1 is already shifted in AZERTY
(it's
Shift-&, whereas & is not shifted).
German QWERTZ has = on Shift+0 and * on Shift++, meaning + is
unshifted ;
however, Swiss QWERTZ has + shifted as Shift+1, and then there
are
other QWERTZ
than that...
It'd be something to test, Cmd-+ might work as a keybinding, and
would then
work on other keyboards. Or perhaps you can just bind to both
Cmd-Shift-+ and
Cmd-+. For other platforms, its not a big deal since the
keybindings
are not
very consistent. On Mac OS X, they are quite consistent across
OS and
apps, so
people notice wrong bindings a lot more.
