I will let Jonathan answer the bulk of your questions pertaining to the latest GUI port. As far as GUI objects being offset, pd-l2ork has had the -legacy startup flag for some time now that ensures that all the patches will render according to legacy GUI positioning.

Wow.. impressive work you've done and I think I'm not even remotely able
to grasp what it meant to achieve this. I very much like its native look
(I checked on Ubuntu 14.04). Also the GUI tab in the preferences dialog,
very neat. And the canvas zoom is probably going to be _the_ killer
feature with all the hi-res displays coming up.
Some observations (from Ubuntu 14.04 i386):
* For a true vanilla experience, it'd be nice if the GUI preset
'vanilla' would use bold fonts.
* I sometimes have to click on Menus twice for the selected item to show
up. I couldn't figure out a reliable pattern. Affected entries:
'Media->Test Audio and Midi' or 'Edit -> Preferences'
* I can't load many of my patches in this nw-version of Pd-l2ork. When I
do so, the patch canvas never appears and I get repeating messages
'watchdog: signaling pd..' on stderr. The process 'nw' uses 100% of a
core and I have to kill pd-l2ork. Some simple patches work fine and I
haven't figured out a pattern of what kind of patches are affected
which are not. However, the behaviour of a certain patch is consistent
(either it loads always ok or it never does so).
UPDATE: Not true. It just takes that much time to load the patch. The
one I just loaded took more than 2 minutes to load.
What version of Pd-vanilla is this based on? Or is not related to
vanilla anymore? I stopped caring about Pd-l2ork when I figured it
contains some fixes that shifts position of iemguis around. This
renders a lot of my patches unusable because they are not displayed in
the GOP area anymore. I'd love if patches would work in both flavors,
but right now it seems as a patch author you need to decide one.
Is it correct that externals for Pd-l2ork are binary-incompatible with
externals built for Pd-vanilla? I'm just interested to know, maybe this
isn't such a huge issue, since Pd-l2ork has so many externals
pre-compiled.
