_19_11??  /That/ would explain!!!  ... And I thought I was bad still 
trying to write the _year_ before in March and April, never mind the 
century or millennium! =:^)  (Actually, I had the 19... problem along 
about 2008 or so, IIRC.)

Anyway, there have been quite some changes since Sept, _20_11.  IIRC 
Heinrich's experimental repo (originally on github) with all the new 
goodies in it was only merged to pan's official gnome-hosted git after 
the new year, tho it's possible I'm mistaken on that as I didn't actually 
go back to look.  But that's where the major new features came from, and 
with them a lot of new and refactored code.  So if you last pulled pan's 
official git before that merge, it's no wonder at all that you're having 
problems now that didn't exist then.  The code back then was pretty much 
the same code, but for minor updates, that it was when Charles left it at 
about 0.132 era, if not earlier.  Now, there's whole new major features, 
etc, bringing in whole new dependencies, etc, as well.

AFAIK the dbus code supports pan's optional new systray icon and/or 
notifications feature.  So yes, it's new code that wouldn't have been 
there back in Sept, 2011.  As Heinrich says tho, it's configure-script 
optional.
