Not familiar with such commands yet, but would like to try.

Just a few Q's:

 (1) Although my 'export' shows the $HOME variable, there's no sign of 
$KDE_CONFIG_DIR. Where is that to be found/ascertained?

(2) Not seen the construct "path1:path2:path3" in export. Is the command to be 
executed here e.g.:
   export GTK2_RC_Files="/etc/gtk-2.0/gtkrc:$HOME/.gtkrc-2.0:$HOME etc....  ?

(In my Madriva setup, 'path1' looks as though it 
is "$HOME/.kde/share/config/gtkrc/gtkrc-2.0", presumably not (as I also see)
"/etc/gimp/2.0/gtkrc" - the only other occurrence of "gtkrc" I could find.

(3) Presumably the 'export' command has to be executed prior to each call of 
Pan (or once per bootup)?

I don't understand why the 'export' was not neeeded when running the same Pan 
under SuSE, but may be elsewhere, unless there is a mismatch between the SuSE 
RPM Pan code and Mandriva.
