Ok, I've changed themes, still in GNOME. Now I'm using "clearview", I think it was previously "bluecurves". Thanks for responding, at least I have an inkling of what's happening. I'm going to ask over in the fedora mailing list. Presumably KDE works fine, as it's a GTK and pan issue? thanks, Thufir _______________________________________________ Pan-users mailing list Pan-users@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/pan-users
