Now I'm wondering about gtk2 versions. I can now see that my Ubuntu  
system has version 2.12.9 while my Mac has 2.10.14. It has been  
discussed before here how changes 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 gtk2 versions do people who do not have this problem have?  
The easiest way I've found 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 example, 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).
