So -- why not implement the pan GUI in java and let each platform

All other factors aside, I think any Big Undertaking in Pan is
a risky move at this point... and rewriting the GUI in Java is
a Big Undertaking.
Okay, I formally withdraw my proposal, and I thank you for taking
the time to respond to it.
Just from sheer nosiness, though, I'd be grateful if you'd explain
what you mean by "risky". Given the rate of mergers and acquisitions
between closed-source companies and open-source projects, I'm getting
quite lost in the dust as to what motivates whom/who(?).
Risky in the sense that it might not get completed,
which would leave Pan worse off than it is now.
Baby steps like fixing the gcc 4 breakage and preparing for GNOME 3
are much "safer" in terms of odd of being completed. :)
