Silly me;-) setvalueof() receive an "array" (it's not exactly an array  
but) as argument so you just need to go over the each item:

function setvalueof()
{
	var index = 0;
	post("recalling pattr state");
	post();
	
	// set our values
	mode = arguments[index++];
	minval = arguments[index++];
	maxval = arguments[index++];
	currentval = arguments[index++];
	currenttitle = arguments[index++];
	listsize = arguments[index++];
	listmode = arguments[index++];
	// menuitems = arguments[index++];
	
	//resize();
	debug();
}

notifyclients() is the method that you need to call when you want the  
pattr information to be updated (thankfully, it doesn't do that  
automatically each time it receive something). So when you send a  
message that change one of the item of your pattr state you need to  
call notifyclients(). Does that makes sense?
