I don't think a 'synchronize' button would be much more convenient than
"b,shift-a".  It's a matter of perception, I think -- similar to the
people who believe Pan is hard because it doesn't have a big toolbar.

Right now the plan is to start on a cronable Pan (panpull? ;) after 0.12.0
is released... so this is in the works.

What version of Pan are you using?
"Get New Headers and Bodies" works for me in 0.11.93.
That awful "get bodies too" checkmark is gone in the newer releases.
