It's not a stupid answer, as it took me quite a while of banging my
head against the desk yesterday to get the various submodules to
compile. Then I remembered a post Paolo made that said essentially the 
same thing you did below.

But my problem comes from the fact that in the old way of doing
things, to get Gnome support you had to supply --with-gnome to the
toplevel Makefile.PL, to get Gnome Panel support you had to add
--with-gnome-panel in addition to --with-gnome, and the same with Zvt
(which I don't use, so doesn't concern me as much). But when you did
that under the old way, when you did:

perl Makefile.PL --with-gnome --with-gnome-panel

It built just one Gnome.pm, but with panel support added in.

Now when I do things the new way, I get Gnome support by cd Gnome/ and 
making the module, but there's no panel support and no obvious way
that I can see to enable it.
