None, as you can see at 
<http://pipmak.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/pipmak?view=rev&revision=180> 
or by running "svn log -v -r180" in your working copy.

Uhm, no. I guess I have to change that term, since it seems to confuse 
people (are people not familiar with joysticks anymore these days?). The 
characteristic of a joystick is that the thing it moves on-screen moves 
faster when you push the joystick farther, and continues moving when you 
keep the joystick still (outside of its neutral position). So joystick 
mode is the one where panning is faster the farther you drag, and 
continues at a constant speed when you keep the mouse still while 
dragging. Direct mode, on the other hand, is when the view moves 
"directly" as much as you move the mouse, and stays still when you keep 
the mouse still.

Any better ideas to name the two modes than "joystick mode" and "direct 
mode"?
