Travis,

Thank you, thank you. I was hoping somebody would post idiot-friendly 
instructions. I followed your directions and VOILA!!! I have a pan 
installation that behaves itself.

FWIW, Pan as it is packaged for Suse 11.2 displays multipart jpegs just fine.

I was hoping Ubuntu would package a version in Lucid Lynx that would display 
multipart jpegs correctly. Maybe if the Ubuntu users on this list would post 
bug reports & comments in the forums, Lucid would be released with a better 
version.
