You can try to compile pan your self and see if you can only enable GTK 
support (I haven't tried).

I was using pan for a while, including the new beta version rewrite. 
However I find that it still sucks up memory and news some work.

I use GrabIt (a windows only app) and run it under wine.  GrabIt is very 
lightweight and runs well under wine.

Give GrabIt a shot under wine, I think you will be surprised at how well 
it runs and how little resources you need.
