Good catch, it is storing it in the keyring but it also seems to be
storing it servers.xml even after deleting the object using Seahorse
and wiping my .pan2 directory.   Here is the output of  the commands
you asked me to run:

$ echo $GNOME_KEYRING_CONTROL
/tmp/keyring-kZb2ka
$ test -f ~/.gnome2/keyrings/login.keyring && echo "Have 'login' keyring"
Have 'login' keyring
$ grep -rq pam_gnome_keyring.so /etc/pam.* && echo "Have PAM Support"
Have PAM Support

I tried locking the keyring and Pan does trigger the prompt to unlock
it so it certainly seems to be interacting with the keyring properly
but at least on my system it is still storing it in servers.xml?

I can also try deleting my keyring and recreating it if you would like.

Thank you!
