That would be a virtual rewrite job. I don't think Pan is the only thing
affected either - I'm a frequentish user of GIMP, and I've provided the
odd demo of it to people, on a couple of occasions using the Windows
port. I was never particularly impressed - a very slick app on Linux
becomes rather clunky and buggy on Windows. My experience is that Qt
based apps work better on Windows than GTK ones.
