Pan had been using the GNOME libraries for URL handling,
but now it just calls the GNOME application 'gnome-open'
to the same effect without the library dependencies.

Even better: KDE, Windows, and OS/X all have apps equivalent
to 'gnome-open', so by default Pan sniffs what you're using
and calls the right one.  You can override this to set a
specific browser via Edit|Prefs|Apps.
