Now I'm wondering about gtk2 versions. I can now see that my Ubuntu 
system has v
ersion 2.12.9 while my Mac has 2.10.14. It has been discussed before 
here how ch
anges to gtk2 can break pan (remember the inline image business, for 
example). I
'm thinking of either updating the Mac to a later gtk2 or installing, 
via source
, an older gtk2 on the Linux machine and see if the former causes the 
problem to
occur on the Mac or if the latter cures it on Linux. But before doing 
that, is
anyone /not/ seeing this problem who has 2.12 or to put it another way, 
what gtk
2 versions do people who do not have this problem have? The easiest way 
I've fou
nd to determine the version is to go into 
.../include/gtk-2.0/gtk/gtkversion.h.
(... would be /opt/local on my Mac or /usr on my Linux system). That 
has, for ex
ample, on my Mac:
#define GTK_MAJOR_VERSION                               (2)
#define GTK_MINOR_VERSION                               (10)
#define GTK_MICRO_VERSION                               (14)
Most people will need to have the -dev package to have this include 
file. I can
also get the version number from my libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0, but that 
involves dpkg
commands (but there are equivalent rpm commands).
