I use xfce, too, so it seems to be a problem on your end.
Can you check for example with seahorse if passwords got created for pan?
Can you try to delete the standard keyring or create one?
Can you manually lock the keyring and start pan and see if it tries to 
unlock it? Is the keyring started? 
The normal behaviour for a new gkr instance would be that the agent asks
you for a password to unlock the keyring.

Use this commands and post their output:
* echo $GNOME_KEYRING_CONTROL
* test -f ~/.gnome2/keyrings/login.keyring && echo "Have 'login' keyring"
* grep -rq pam_gnome_keyring.so /etc/pam.* && echo "Have PAM Support" 

Cheers.
