I assumed it was more of a hassle and you didn't want to try it, but given your mention (in a new thread) of not finding an answer to this yet several months later, I said I'd take another look at this thread, and this seems to be what you hadn't tried yet, so... (There was a bug back in the gtk2 era where after certain updates, never traced it down to a specific package but..., pan would only show the last column, score in my setup, taking the entire header pane. All the other columns would be zero-width, with the dividers piled up on top of each other. After the second time or so I decided editing the file was easier than the GUI method. Another time or two and I created patch-files to edit the file and setup a script to attempt to apply them on every pan start, so if I saw only the score column all I had to do was restart pan and the patch files would apply before pan started, bringing everything back to normal. So yeah, I have some experience editing the prefs file to get the header columns back to sanity.) -- Duncan - List replies preferred. No HTML msgs.
