Any help appreciated.

Fuzzy 

first do:
emerge -av --oneshot gnome-desktop

make sure its emerging the latest gnome-desktop ( masked version ).

This occurs because you need the latest gnome-desktop before gnome-panel.

This is a known bug that we will fix before releasing 2.12.

Thanks for reporting, and report back if this fixes it!

I recently upgraded to 2.11.92, and it built fine.  In addition, the ebuild
lists >=gnome-desktop-2.11.91 as a dep, so this should not be an issue anymore.
