[Pan-users] running pan with a changed $HOME env variable

[Søren Boll Overgaard]

Hello

A Debian user has reported problems with starting pan with a changed $HOME
environment variable. I can confirm that this appears to be problematic. I
couldn't find anything in bugzilla about this, so I was wondering if maybe it
isn't considered a bug?
Here is the output I get:

address@hidden ~]$ pan                                                     
[23:37]
address@hidden ~]$ export HOME=/home/boll/tmp                              
[23:37]
address@hidden /home/boll]$ pan                                            
[23:38]
Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
Xlib: No protocol specified


(pan:581): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: :0.0
address@hidden /home/boll]$

As you will notice pan starts just fine, before $HOME is changed, but
afterwards it refuses to start. I am running pan 0.12.1.

Should I consider this a bug or a feature?
