perlpanel 0.8.0 is up, haven't tested it but a rename looks like it would work fine. I want to emerge it, but there are a LOT of dependencies for it. Looking at the website, it says that dev-perl/Xmms-Perl is only required for users of the XMMS applet, and dev-perl/gnome2-vfs-perl is only required for people using the Gnome Menu or the SetiAtHome applet. Would things still work if we added two useflags (probably xmms and gnome) that need to be activated for perlpanel to depend on these items? By filtering these dependencies, build time should decrease greatly. Personally, I don't use gnome, setiathome, or xmms, so I shouldn't need these perl modules. (There's a few dependencies regarding locales, but I think that perlpanel doesn't launch if they aren't installed, so I'm guessing an nls flag wont work without some serious patching.) I've edited the ebuild and put it in my overlay, I will test and see if perlpanel works with the two useflags I specified. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
Hmm... this is strange. After the emerge, an attempt to run perlpanel said "Could not find the icon 'perlpanel'. The 'hicolor' theme was not found either, perhaps you need to install it." After emering hicolor-icon-theme, I got a Wnck-ERROR: "file pager.c: line 275 (wnck_pager_size_request): assertion failed (pager->priv->n_rows > 0) aborting...". Could this do with the new version or is it my attempt at removing some dependencies?

FWIW - guilt wracked at me for months about possibly ignoring your comments on the use flags, so I checked. I can xmms? () the xmms portion, but the current version of perlpanel will not build without gnome2-vfs, which means you have to install the gnome libs anyway.
