I've had this happen before too. 

*Before* you close either instance of Pan, check that ~/.pan2/servers.xml is 
still intact.  If it is, make a backup of it now.  If not, you'll need to 
re-add your server details.

Now close Pan and copy the servers backup file back to ~/.pan2/servers.xml and 
you should find everything is back to normal.

It seems that a second instance of Pan manages to screp up servers.xml so that 
next time you open Pan it acts as though it's the first ever run giving the 
impression that you just lost everything.

My problems began when my mouse was playing up so a left click often produced 
a double click causing Pan to load twice.

Always keep a backup of servers.xml.
