Exactly. The thing to remember is that the panner pans across all pages at once, not just a single page as the hand-grabby thing or the Ghostview panner does. It's hard to overstate how useful it is if you happen to have a multiple-page layout. (If you don't, it's pretty useless -- both the linear and continuous-page modes only call for one dimension of scrolling at a time, and scrollbars can handle that.)
