Hi.

I just looked through the code and all leading/trailing whitespace is
removed from the string so there is no way to get around it as I see it.
IMHO it is a bug, but there might be some good reason to remove it?
If you compile Pan from source you can comment out this line:

g_strstrip (phrase);

in the get_new_filter function.
