the deskbar-applet-2.14.1.1 is broken when selected to button layout. I don't know whether the problem of gentoo ebuild or the problem of deskbar-applet oneself. Firstly, I report gentoo bugzilla.the deskbar-applet emits following errors.

I can't reproduce. Can you provide us with specific steps to reproduce? thanks.
In an attempt to reproduce errors, I made new account,and added deskbar-applet on panel. However, the errors that I reported not occur. Maybe, I had wrong my configuration. I'm sorry for wrong report.
