The issue #1 was already fixed in the 0.136 tarball currently uploaded on
pan.rebelbase.com, the remaining issues #2 and #3 will be fixed in the
upcoming release.

Another known issue of 0.136 is the About dialog's old version string, so
releasing 0.137 pretty soon now seems like a really good idea. 

Thanks for pointing that out, Loki, and thanks Heinrich for fixing those
issues in Git.
