I'd have to dig up my gnome bugzy password (which I haven't used in several years, I need to get back into it one of these days) to reply there, so I'll reply here. The saved password issue is likely due to gkr settings. Using gkr is a pretty new option, and it's likely that either the old or new version is built with that disabled due to bugs with it at some point. It may be that you had it stored in pan's settings for years, and they just enabled the gkr integration, and it wasn't stored there, so you had to reenter it. Or as I said they tried turning it on and may have had people reporting bugs, or otherwise decided it wasn't stable, and turned it back off. Of course if you're building it yourself, or (as I) using gentoo's ebuilds with their USE flag feature tracking, decisions such as the gkr integration are exposed to the user to decide at build-time. I have USE=-gnome-keyring set here, since in general I'm a kde person and generally prefer not to have gnome components installed at all. (Fortunately, pan is gtk, not full gnome, with a few optional gnome deps.) IDR if pan's default hotkey settings include a sig-display-toggle hotkey or not, but if they do (or if you had set one for some reason), what may have happened there is that you hit the hotkey by mistake, and didn't even realize it (maybe you were looking at a long post and the sig wasn't in view) until later. I think pretty much every reasonably heavy pan user does that at least once, with some hotkey or other. I think the muted quotes toggle (IIRC "q" by default) is the one I see people asking about the most, but I've seen others as well, and a long time ago, I remember even posting to a test group, after I had (deliberately) toggled the match only my articles option on, but then forgot about it, and thought for a couple days that everyone quit posting! I'm not positive how long the sig-view option has been there, either. I don't remember it from years ago, and discovered it myself only maybe a year ago. It's likely I discovered it either when the option was introduced (with a default I didn't like), or maybe when a hotkey was added to it that I didn't know about. Either way, I remember discovering the setting myself, when I wasn't seeing sigs I thought I should be seeing. It's likely you're only now getting that same change, in the distribution's version. -- Duncan - List replies preferred. No HTML msgs.
