It works fine here, using cooker updated twice or more weekly, but the latest 
PAN from pan.rebelbase.com, since the Cooker builds haven't had spell 
checking enabled (they say because there's no easy way to change the language 
checked).  My kernel is also non-Mdk, but rather straight off of kernel.org 
and self-compiled.

I'm guessing one of the gtk library dependencies is a bit old on your system, 
if you are still running 9.1, but w/ the cooker PAN.  It might also be video 
driver??  Here, I run triple monitor and xinerama, with an older NVidia 
GForce II dual output, which of course requires the NVidia proprietary driver 
to enable the second output, and an even OLDER S3 Virge PCI for my third 
monitor.  With that combo and xinerama, it isn't as accelerated as some are, 
which means less driver bugs even if it IS slower.

First thing I'd try is upgrading all the gtk/pango/atk/etc libraries to the 
latest Cooker versions, then install the latest PAN, now 0.14.0.
