Yep, using the correct accels.

Yep.

Nope.  Doesn't seem to be mapped to anything else.

I don't think so; I recently installed a Wacom Intuos4 tablet on the 
system, but I believe ^E continued doing what it was supposed to after I 
got the wacom driver configured.

It's possible there were some system updates between working and not 
working, but the weird thing is that if I make the change in accels.txt 
and start pan up, the modified file has the mapping removed.

I may have to run strace against pan to see if I can tell why it's 
changing the file - or at least where it's changing it.
