Version bump to 0.30, it also has a smal fix for gentoo because LANG is not set on most systems. this is a common problem from the forums: http://gnomesupport.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=5735 . i talked to the autor and fixed it, the fix is included in the ebuild. i also added the new dependancy "pyxdg" and "sed" for the fix enjoy

I used the first ebuild and it worked fine. I did have to install the starterbar sensor manually before starterbar would load though.
That doesn't look like a conclusive solution in the gnome-support forum. I've added starterbar-0.30 to portage. Let's see if we have problems with it. Please test.
I've updated to version 0.30, if you have problems please report.
