Deskbar-applet consistently fails for me. I have no idea why, and I keep expecting it to 'go-away'. It's been about 4 months now, and it always fails at the same spot. I have looked around on all previous attempts, but found nothing. Since it failed today, I opened a bug. checking for DESKBAR... yes checking for python version... (cached) 2.4 checking for python platform... (cached) linux2 checking for python script directory... (cached) ${prefix}/lib/python2.4/site-packages checking for python extension module directory... (cached) ${exec_prefix}/lib/python2.4/site-packages checking for gnomeapplet module... no configure: error: gnomeapplet module required to build deskbar !!! Please attach the following file when filing a report to bugs.gentoo.org: !!! /var/tmp/portage/deskbar-applet-2.14.2/work/deskbar-applet-2.14.2/config.log !!!

If you need support, post the topmost build error, and the call stack if relevant.
looks like a (dev-python/gnome-python || dev-python/gnome-python-desktop || dev-python/gnome-python-extras || dev-python/pygtk) problem. Please try to reemerge those packages prior to install deskbar
OK, that worked. hmm. I thought I tried rebuilding all of those before, but I must have missed one. Thanks =)
