In contrast to the dependency coded in the ebuild, gnote can be built without dependency on gnome when using -applet. --- gnote-0.6.3.ebuild 2009-12-30 02:46:12.602999177 +0100 +++ gnote-0.6.3.ebuild-fixed 2009-12-30 02:45:47.499001733 +0100 @@ -24,8 +24,7 @@ >=app-text/gtkspell-2.0.9 >=dev-libs/boost-1.34 sys-libs/e2fsprogs-libs - >=gnome-base/gnome-panel-2 - applet?

one use flag to control this feature is enough. There is a couple of other package using the same USE for the same functionality and as such it won't be changed. As for the gnome-panel dependency, it is unnecessary as libpanelappletmm already DEPENDs on it and runtime could be something else than gnome-panel as long as it's implementing the same API.
In that case this bug is fixed for me, when the dependency on >=gnome-base/gnome-panel-2 is completely removed.
alright, I misread the diff. I'll fix it asap.
