and also, if I google for canvas_stowconnections the first hit is something called "Pure Data Source Documentation" on a site that doesn't respond, 0x09.com; anyone knows whose it is and what's the matter with it?

"stowconnections" saves the connections to and from an object in preparation for replacing it with a new one (for instance, when you type into a box to change the object). "restoreconnections" tries to reconnect the new object as the old one was. I don't know why this was exported to a ".h" file... perhaps someone asked me to do it sometime in the past...

Thanks, but I understood this already, hence the mail that says "nevermind".

A lot of stuff in g_canvas.h has nothing to do with anything any sane external should use... including functions that don't exist anymore... which is why I started cleaning up my fork of g_canvas.h.
I think that the problem occurs because a lot of code is separated in several files. In my fork, all the g_*.c code is together in one file, which makes many lines of g_canvas.h unneeded. Separate compilation isn't itself bad, it's that g_canvas.h doesn't distinguish between what's intended as a public API and what's not, which may be primarily because g_canvas.h was never intended as a public API.
BTW I don't think that breaking down the program into such small parts is useful anymore, because compiling the whole GUI only takes a few seconds.
