Summary: changing properties doesn't set "modified" status
Initial Comment:
When you change the properties of an object, it does not set the "dirty" or "modified" flag on the patch. Therefore, Pd does not prompt to save if that patch is closed and those changes are lost.
To see this bug in action, make a new patch, and place a GUI bang object on the canvas (i.e. [bng]), then save the file. Now, open the properties dialog of that bang and change the color of it and it OK. When you close the patch, it does not prompt you to save your changes.

Attached is a patch that fixes this for all canvas-related properties panels (i.e. NOT the audio/midi/path/startup pref panels). This should work for adding and deleting cords, and properties panels for: canvas, arrays, iemguis, and atom boxes.
The only downside is that with the properties panels, there is no checking whether there has actually be any change. I just sets the dirty flag if the user clicks on OK or Apply. File Added: cords_and_properties_set_dirty-0.41.4.patch

Not only changing properties of an object.
Also deleting an existing connection does not set the modified flag!
To see the bug in action: Make a new patch, create any two objects and connect them in any way (any inlet of one to any outlet of the other), then save the file. Now, click on the wire connection and delete it, without moving the objects. When you close the patch, it does not prompt you to save your changes.
This is true both for control and signal connections.
At least Windows XP, version 0.40-2
Should I post this as a separate bug?
