DesireData's is quite nice, for example. Make the layout work well,
make the text and buttons communicate well, provide useful things on
the pd window, etc.
I'd be very happy with a slightly simpler version DesireData's. But
its GPL, so we can't just take it for vanilla without getting
copyright permission.

This looks exciting!
Just curious- what does "make a good pd window" mean?

A complete rewrite of Pd's GUI is starting to be usable. Miller has accepted the core of this code into his repo for 0.43. Now we need to get the whole thing done! There is now a branch for continuing off of Miller's initial 0.43 commit here:
http://pure-data.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/pure-data/branches/pd-gui-rewrit...
There is a wiki page to keep track of progress with build instructions, etc.:

Try it out on GNU/Linux or Mac OS X, no one's tried to get it running on Windows yet, you could be the first. Shouldn't be too hard since its all Tcl. There is lots of work left to do, and you can contribute in many different ways. We always need testers, try using this Pd version in your normal work, and report any and all bugs, problems, feature ideas, etc. The simplest way is to contribute code is to create a translation for Pd. You can also look thru the Tcl source for things marked TODO and take a stab and doing them. If you want to improve the GUI, make the new Pd window for example, an announce your interest to pd-dev to make sure there are no duplications of efforts.
