Downgrading gnome-menus to 2.10.2-r1 fixes the problem. Apperently eel doesnt like gnome-menus 2.11.91.
if you are using gnome-menus 2.11, eel 2.10.x will NOT work with it. You will need to either back out most of the Gnome 2.12 beta stuff, or wait for the updated ebuilds to be added to portage. gnome-menus 2.11.x's header files are gmenu-* and the API has changed. The work is being done on getting Gnome 2.12 into the tree, but its not done just yet.
you can check the status here: http://dev.gentoo.org/~allanonjl/gnome/gnome_status.html
