At least on kde, if pan is in your kde session, it'll be auto-started 
when you start kde again, and depending on how your kde session is 
configured, pan will be in it if it was running (even if hidden) when you 
quit kde.

top is named after what it does best, show the top five users of memory/
cpu/etc.  But what it is is an auto-refreshing list of current processes 
that can be filtered on user and a few other things, and sorted on any 
column, including memory usage, cpu usage, etc.

htop is an improved version of top.

But the idea is get a process list, whether using top/htop/ps/whatever, 
or a GUI equivilent (kde's task list available from krunner, for 
instance), and see if pan's listed in it.
