I don't use git but still can't move anything in last few/couple stable
pan versions (0.154, 0.155, ...) even after deleting preferences.xml
(could move everything in all previous pan versions for 10+ years).

I'm talking about panes and headers. Headers aren't so important I'd edit
a file to set, but since earlier this year I can no longer increase groups
pane to see longer names, and no longer decrease message pane to see more
article lines. Since happened on a few stable versions, maybe GTK broke.
