I just submitted a small patch.  I think the automatic download from
subscribed groups on startup needs to be mutually exclusive with
reverting to the old task list.  Otherwise, the old task list gets
overwritten by the automatic download before it can be reloaded.  It
might be better to make the Pan startup wait for the user's response,
but that change would have been more complicated than I feel able to
handle.
