Missing USE="bonobo" on gnome-panel maybe ?
No and I rebuilt it. gnome-base/gnome-panel Available versions: 2.30.2 (~)2.32.1 2.32.1-r1 {+bonobo doc eds +introspection networkmanager policykit} Installed versions: 2.32.1-r1(15:15:44 07/03/11)(bonobo -doc -eds -introspection -networkmanager)
What gnome-base/libbonobo version are you using? Have you tried to logout/login after installing panflute?

Probably related to https://answers.launchpad.net/panflute/+question/100815 I will test the gnome python packages.
After emerging everything with gnome and python, py , alsa and what ever in it, I see this error in .local/share/panflute/applet.stderr Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/libexec/panflute-applet", line 42, in applet_factory panflute.applet.applet.Applet (applet) File "/usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/panflute/applet/applet.py", line 88, in __init__ self.__conf.connect_bool ("show_notifications", self.__show_notifications_changed_cb, call_now = True) File "/usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/panflute/applet/conf.py", line 78, in connect_bool callback (self.get_bool (key)) File "/usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/panflute/applet/applet.py", line 338, in __show_notifications_changed_cb self.__notification = self.__create_notification () File "/usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/panflute/applet/applet.py", line 355, in __create_notification notification = pynotify.Notification (" ", "", None, None) TypeError: Notify.Notification.__init__() takes at most 3 arguments (4 given) ** (panflute-applet:17151): WARNING **: need to free the control here

no still same error.
Changing notification = pynotify.Notification (" ", "", None, None) to notification = pynotify.Notification (" ", "", None) makes it work again.
Cleaned system and panflute is still working. So it is the notify thing
wouldn't it be possible for notify-python to have the 4th argument with a default value ?
(In reply to comment #11) > wouldn't it be possible for notify-python to have the 4th argument with a > default value ? The 4th argument gets forwarded to libnotify as function notify_notification_new which accepts only 3 arguments since 0.7.x. I'm not sure how would one patch notify-python in a way it accepts 4 arguments, but only sends 3 out to libnotify. Meanwhile panflute's code could just get fixed like in Comment #9 based on `has_version ">=x11-libs/libnotify-0.7" && epatch one-argument-less.patch" And then we can just drop that hack once libnotify-0.7.x goes stable and we don't have to care about the obsolete API anymore
Fixed by these: http://sources.gentoo.org/viewvc.cgi/gentoo-x86/gnome-extra/panflute/panflute-0.6.2.ebuild?r1=1.3&r2=1.4 http://sources.gentoo.org/viewvc.cgi/gentoo-x86/dev-python/notify-python/ChangeLog?r1=1.27&r2=1.28
