[Pan-users] What tells Pan where to save??

[Beartooth]

        My Event Log keeps geting messages like these : 

Mon Nov 26 12:07:56 2012 - Unable to save "/home/XXXXX/.pan2/newsrc-4" 
Mon Nov 26 12:07:56 2012 - Unable to save "/home/XXXXX/.pan2/newsrc-4" 
Permission denied

        The machine it happens on, currently running CentOS6, is one 
which got its GUI all fouled up somehow. I hit it with a big hammer -- by 
creating a new userid for myself, and logging in thenceforth as Newuser 
instead of User. That "XXXXX" in there is the old userid -- I copied 
over .pan2 from User to Newuser, and ran chown against all of /home/
Newuser, or tried to.
        
        Where have I goofed, and how do I fix it?
