I would say yes, definitely, it makes a difference.  Charles has made
it clear in the past that a good many bugs have been due to bugs or
changes in gtk.  Are you tracking gtk from svn also?  And glib?

Ah, that's why you can't afford to buy software ;o)

Seems that bug has been fixed more than once in the past.

Well, without evidence I can't suggest anything more than some trivial
experiments to try.  Are things changed in any way by:

Using 'z' to zoom from tabbed to non-tabbed mode?
Switching between threaded/non-threaded display?
Renaming your ~/.pan2 directory so pan starts over from scratch?
Starting pan from a command prompt to look for error messages?

Oh, and are the non-Date columns sorted correctly in the first place,
even though you can't actually change the sorting on those columns?

BTW, I'm running gtk+-2.10.13 and glib-2.12.12 and the sorting works
normally on my pan built from svn.
