panel_applet_set_background_widget() is in gnome-panel, which gnome-utils depends on. g_print() is in glib, which everythign depends on. I'd say do a revdep-rebuild, but you were doing that already. Try emerging gnome-panel first?

BAD idea, the revdep rebuild with out -X. Trying again with -X option, as i am on kde 3.5 and left to its own devices, it tried looking for 3.4 packages! More after this finishes.
Emerging the panel, then revdep-rebuild -X, completed successfully. I've no idea how it didn't find g_print() as i have glib. I assume something was updated which emerging the panel fixed? I'm going to restart the X server now...
This seems to have succeeded. (i emerged the nvidia driver again of course). So is this not the intended behaviour, or was the fault on my end? I don't use Gnome, so i'd be suspect that having to emerge the panel just to get a should-have-it-already C function was supposed to happen. Anything i can do to get more info for you?
it looks like you half updated your system, and you needed to do that plus a revdep-rebuild. closing per reporters comments.
