PerlPanel - No SysTray?

So I switched to Openbox a few weeks ago and have been playing with both pyPanel and PerlPanel. I lke them both and they both have pluses and minuses. One issue I am having with PerlPanel is that I can't get the system tray to show up.

I think it has something to do with the "Notifications" applet or something. When I try to add this I get a bunch of GtK and other errors. Most of them seem to be pointing to the fact that libgnome.so is missing. I do a locate on my system and it's not there. I installed the libgnome package but that didn't seem to fix it.

Any ideas?

Unfortunately it may be related to the ebuild. The TrayManager.pm perl module is not available in portage as of yet (should be soon). You can install it with either g-cpan.pl or the typical 'perl -MCPAN -e shell' . LMK if you need help doing that.
