I noticed that in the latest pd-extended on ubuntu, the arrow doesn't change direction when you mouse over a GUI object that is editable. Why so?  I found it useful..

For this release, there has been a lot of work in making the GUI and
user experience much more fluid and easy. There is a new visual look
that was designed to make patches more readable. Additionally, lots
of things have been tweaked to make Pd behave more like a normal app.
There has already been a lot of testing on these builds, so it is
getting quite close to a final version. (Debian/PowerPC is missing
now but will come later)

http://at.or.at/hans/pd/installers.html

Here is a partial changelog:

- next visual appearance designed for readability (it can run slower
on machines < 1 GHz)

- default locations for user-installed externals, helpfiles, etc.
 GNU/Linux:  /usr/share/pd and ~/pd
 Mac OS X: /Library/Pd and ~/Library/Pd
 Windows: %ProgramFiles%/Common Files/Pd and %UserProfile%/
Application Data/Pd

- lots of standard key bindings added:
       Enter/Return for OK
       Escape for Cancel
       Ctrl/Cmd-W closes all windows
       on Mac OS X, Cmd-` cycles thru open windows
       on Mac OS X, Cmd-m minimizes windows
       Ctrl/Cmd-R raises/lowers Pd window
       Ctrl/Cmd-Shift-R shrinks/grows Pd window
       Ctrl/Cmd-Shift-L clears Pd window's text console
       Ctrl/Cmd-B opens the Help Browser

- you can now use "~" in all paths to mean home folder, and on
Windows you can use environment variables, lie %UserProfile% in paths

- cut/copy/paste now work directly into text boxes on all platforms

- [declare] and [import] now sorted out for loading, much work needs
to be done before there namespace support is complete

- "File -> Save As" defaults to the Home folder (~/)

- fixed Cut/Copy/Paste for the Pd window's console

- included pgp_opengl aka 3dp on GNU/Linux and Mac OS X

KNOWN BUGS

- check http://puredata.info/dev/bugtracker before reporting bugs

- Escape, Enter, and Ctrl/Cmd-W don't close the Path and Startup
preferences

- pdp_opengl is alpha and will definitely crash Pd

- loading pdp_opengl will crash Pd if X11 is not open before trying
to load it
