Try this:

Create a waimea config file that look like this:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE waimea SYSTEM "/usr/share/waimea/waimea.dtd">
<waimea version="0.5.1">
<include>|/home/gamma/.config/openbox/scripts/gmail/gmail-waimea.py</include>
</waimea>

Save it as '/home/gamma/.config/openbox/scripts/gmail/gmail.conf' or
whatever you like. Then change your menu config to this:

<menu name="gmail"/> 
<include>/home/gamma/.config/openbox/scripts/gmail/gmail.conf</include>
<item name="sub" submenu="gmail" string="Gmail" function="readadditionalconfig"
      parameter="/home/gamma/.config/openbox/scripts/gmail/gmail.conf"
      image="icons/actions.png"/>

I might work, but I'm definitely not sure :-)

good luck!

It's up to you but it's always nice to CC the list.
