Interesting.  So the gnome 3.2 bit looks unrelated, since we have a 
report of it happening on kde 4.7.2 also on OpenSuSE, but other reports 
of it not happening at least on kde on other distros (gentoo here, and kde 
4.7.2, I'm not seeing it, tho I'm building from the judgefudge tree which 
adds another variable)...

Which means it's very likely a distro related bug, and those bugs were 
filed in the right place.

I didn't actually check the bugs, but I'd suggest updating them with this 
information, if appropriate.

One other possibly related factor: what was pan built against?  Here, I 
don't have gtk3 installed, so pan is built against gtk2.  But I think 
gtk3 support is in the official gnome pan repo now and may be in the 
latest official release, so OpenSuSE may well be building pan against 
gtk3 instead of gtk2, and it could be a bug in either gtk3 or in pan's 
support of gtk3.

To eliminate or help confirm that possibility, we need to confirm what 
dependencies the OpenSuSE build has, gtk2 or gtk3, and if it's gtk3, 
someone else building pan against gtk3 (or running a distro version built 
against gtk3) that's NOT on OpenSuSE, to report whether they see the 
problem.
