They say that one advantage of open source is that given the world as an
audience, all bugs are shallow -- someone will know what's up right away. 
This one proves the point, as I believe I know /exactly/ what's happening,
having run into it myself, but believed it to be designed that way (that
is, a feature).

I'll put the details on the bug, but the gist is that where pan looks for
the browser depends on whether it's compiled with or without libgnome. 
(The 0.107 ebuild makes use of the gnome USE flag to control that,
according to a bug I filed with Gentoo -- I've not yet merged it.)
