Yeah.  I'm aware of it but as I said, hadn't had a problem with old-pan
for so long I thought GTK had wised up and it was now the default.  Guess
I was wrong, and the setting I had been using eventually disappeared from
my config somehow. =8^(

Anyway, I think I'll not bother with that, since manually editing the
accels.txt works and works well, once you know the tricks and have a
decently ordered edit file to work with.

Tricky, isn't it. Glad I could clear that up!  =8^)

Thanks!  It's nice knowing my hard work has been found useful, once in
awhile. =8^)

As I said, there are some tricks to figure out, but once you do... =8^)
