Alejandro,

The trace indicates that scrollkeeper is attempting to write into a
system directory rather than into the garnome tree, which is a "bad
thing". Now you see why GARNOME is never built by "root".

Hmmm... Why is this happening?  First verify that 

   ./desktop/scrollkeeper 

was successfully built and installed into the GARNOME tree.  If not,

* cd ./desktop/scrollkeeper
* make clean
* make install

* cd ./desktop/gnome-panel
* make clean
* make install

If so,  take a look at config.log in the $WORKSRC directory for
gnome-panel. The configuration process looks for scrollkeeper-config.
It should find the one in the GARNOME tree.  I suspect that it found the
system version instead.
