is it possible that you meant:

  /* find the pane we want to close in the list */
  element = g_list_find(panesList, focuspane);
  /* point at previous entry which could be the start of the list */
  element = g_list_previous(element);
  /* remove it from the list */
  panesList = g_list_remove(panesList, focuspane);

BTW: g_list_append/remove always return the new list *head*.

Um, maybe add `if (element && element->data)' ? there has to be and
end of the list somewhere.
