I wanted to use the launcher in tint2 and found out that gentoo does not have it built in

you need the tint2-svn version

I found these good links [1] [2] [3] [4] Thank you all (I have used bits to make this page) Another one is over there, an ebuild to skip the manual mergeing steps.

THIS IS WHAT I DID (please make this better)

root #emerge --ask wmctrl xdotool

svn checkout http://tint2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ tint2-read-only

cd tint2-read-only

wget https://dl.dropbox.com/s/gmko5d6sy8qjpao/tint2patchfiles.tar.gz?dl=1 -O tint2patchfiles.tar.gz

If you don't already have imlib2 (for libstartup-notification) emerged cmake will fail:
emerge --ask imlib2

tar -xvzf tint2patchfiles.tar.gz
patch -p0 < src-task-align.patch
patch -p0 < freespace.patch
patch -p0 < launcher_apps_dir-v2.patch
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr ./
make
make install

and here are my config files
