Ouch... tho honestly... since we found it was with GNOME only, it could 
be on other distributions, possibly including the Gentoo I'm using, since 
I don't do GNOME, only KDE.

Any chance you could do an ldd pan > pan.ldd.xfce.lst, then start GNOME 
long enough to do an ldd pan > pan.ldd.gnome.lst from it?  Then post the 
two files, or at least a diff between them?

I'd /love/ to nail this one to a particular library, or at least know 
that such a simple procedure wasn't going to get us the necessary data if 
there's noting significant in the diff.
