        I'd lean toward the "obscure setting" idea... I do believe there is a 
GNOME setting for which browser to use when clicking on a link in a 
GNOME application... if my "gnomecc" would actually run, I'd check on 
what it is here.  :-p  (Many of my Gnome apps do not like the fact that 
I've installed a more advanced version of libpng than they prefer.)
        My guess is that, for gtk2 apps on your system, this is not defined, 
so nothing happens.  Based on that guess (shaky ground, I know), I'd 
say you should try to find out how to set that preference for gtk2 
apps.  Pan no longer depends on Gnome libraries, so perhaps it has 
"forgotten" your browser preference from your Gnome configuration.
        In Pan's preferences, the General section, there *is* a configuration 
for a browser.  Mine says, "gnome-moz-remote --raise --newwin '%s'".  
(This is a valid program, here... check that yours is, as well.)

        Interestingly, Pan 0.12.0 does not react at all if I position the 
pointer over a URL... the pointer remains an "I-beam" and nothing at 
all happens if I click.  If I double-click, the "word" under the 
pointer is selected, the behavior I would expect in any Gtk(2) text 
field.  Perhaps something is, in fact, wrong here... ?

        I would suggest, based on this info, that you report this as a bug.  
Possibly something happened with the switch to Pango that caused a 
problem.
