<rant>I finally gnome2 working by following the freebsd.org/gnome instructions. After that I set: WITHOUT_GNOME=yes in make.conf so gnome1.x apps wouldn't overwrite with older stuff. Later on I get a craving to install xmps and guess what? Gnome2 is nuked by some gnome1.x apps that xmps wanted, even specifying 'make -DWITHOUT_GNOME' seemed to be pulling down gnome stuff. Now I'm back in dependency Hell trying to get gnome2 back. There has to be an easier way to design software. </rant> Kudos to the people who are working very hard to make this crap software run on FreeBSD.
