Yeah, I'd noticed that before but not done anything about it. Based off 
xfce4-systemload-0.3.4.ebuild, I think the taskbar plugin's ebuild 
should look something like:

<begin "xfce4-taskbar-plugin-0.1.0.ebuild">

IUSE=""
MY_P="${PN}-${PV}"
S=${WORKDIR}/${MY_P}

DESCRIPTION="Taskbar plugin for the Xfce4 panel"
HOMEPAGE="http://xfce-goodies.berlios.de/"
SRC_URI="http://download.berlios.de/xfce-goodies/${MY_P}.tar.gz"

	make DESTDIR=${D} install || die

<end "xfce4-taskbar-plugin-0.1.0.ebuild">

Placed in your PORTDIR_OVERLAY/xfce-extra/xfce4-taskbar-plugin. Note - 
not tested it, I'll do that soon and modify if needed.

My excuse is that unfortunately I've been having hardware/driver 
problems on Linux since upgrading to a 9800 pro so I've not really been 
using it much. Used to have them on Windows, but a MB driver update 
fixed it so not quite sure what to do on Linux. Buut anyway, that stuff 
belongs elsewhere...
