I changed the signature colour in Edit -> Preferences -> Body Pane and 
closed Pan. On re-opening I get the error message quoted below and the 
signature colour has reverted to diarrhoea.




** (pan:1538): CRITICAL **: file pan-config.c: line 170 
(config_scan_children): assertion `key_len>0' failed




In config.xml, the following entry was added under <section key="Display">:


<section key="">


				<section key="Pan">


					<section key="Display">


						<value key="signature_color_r" type="n">65535</value>


					</section>


				</section>


			</section>


			<section key="">


				<section key="Pan">


					<section key="Display">


						<value key="signature_color_g" type="n">0</value>


					</section>


				</section>


			</section>


			<section key="">


				<section key="Pan">


					<section key="Display">


						<value key="signature_color_b" type="n">0</value>


					</section>


				</section>


			</section>


			<section key="">


				<section key="Pan">


					<section key="Display">


						<value key="signature_color_r" type="n">65535</value>


					</section>


				</section>


			</section>


			<section key="">


				<section key="Pan">


					<section key="Display">


						<value key="signature_color_g" type="n">0</value>


					</section>


				</section>


			</section>


			<section key="">


				<section key="Pan">


					<section key="Display">


						<value key="signature_color_b" type="n">0</value>


					</section>


				</section>


			</section>




It appears that instead of just adding the <value.....>, the whole string 
gets added with too many recursive section entries.




Thanks.
