I don't know.  For a pure GNOME program this is preferable, but there
are many users on KDE, Xfce and others (like me, GNUstep).

This is entirely an Emacs problem.  Customize the variable
`current-language-environment' or do `M-x set-language-environment'.

I don't know what you mean by this.  If you set "emacsclient" as
external editor in Pan, you are connecting to the already running
Emacs.  A new buffer is spawned and after finishing, you kill it with
`C-x #'; the contents of the buffer is being copied to the Pan's
posting dialog.  This is perfectly normal behaviour.

Your email address has nothing to do with the external editor.  I think we
are misunderstanding each other.
