Is this not the same issue as that discussed in the very long thread 
"Previews gone screwy"? See the archives, starting on 9/26. One of the 
later messages mentioned a patch in a pan bug report. I found this patch 
unnecessary when I was running Ubuntu 7.04 but necessary when running 
the new 7.10. From what I recall, it was actually an incompatibility 
with GTK+ that showed up recently (2.11?). It was left undecided whether 
it is actually a gtk+ bug or not. But whoever is to blame, for previews 
to work right using the latest pan with recent gtk+, you have to apply 
this patch.

I think this is the patch:
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/attachment.cgi?id=96917&action=view

found in walt's archive posting on 20 October:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/pan-users/2007-10/msg00065.html

Ok, I have confirmed that that is indeed the patch I had to use to get 
pan 0.132 to preview properly with "Gutsy".
