Can you post the output of 'emerge -pv deskbar-applet' as well as 'emerge -pv gnome-python-desktop'

I had the same problem, some library was missing, so I reemerged everything that deskbar-applet depends on. emerge -av dev-lang/python emerge -av x11-libs/gtk+ emerge -av dev-python/pygtk emerge -av dev-python/gnome-python emerge -av gnome-base/gnome-desktop emerge -av dev-python/gnome-python-desktop emerge -av dev-python/gnome-python-extras emerge -av gnome-base/gconf emerge -av gnome-extra/evolution-data-server emerge -av sys-devel/gettext emerge -av dev-util/intltool emerge -av dev-util/pkgconfig So reemerge this and the problem should disappear.
(In reply to comment #3) re-emerging dev-python/gnome-python-desktop does the trick.
Okay, I figured out. When I try to emerge dev-python/gnome-python-desktop it failed with some other error messages, but now I know the reason. The problem was with metacity-2.15.4 from the xgl-coffee overlay. After I've downgraded to metacity-2.14.8 I was able to compile gnome-python-desktop and deskbar-applet also.
