I concentrated on the point that Pan takes an enormous amount of time when 
I click on the close button in the window manager. I guess the filtering 
problem is actually the same one, as both problems started together at the 
same time. The backtraces are generated by Ctrl-C'ing in gdb, after I 
clicked on the close button, but before Pan actually finished. Sorry for 
the confusion.
