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.)
It looks like you are 100% correct, a KDE user who compiled from source
had no problems. Of course this causes other issues if I remove gnome
support for those who use gnome. Shouldn't Pan failover to using the
BROWSER variable if the gnome libraries are not available at runtime?
