I don't konw which of our gnome > ports installs this file, Why don't you learn how to use 'find', 'locale', 'whereis' or other search tools? GNOME even has the search feature.

If you want to find mozilla.desktop, check in either www/mozilla or www/mozilla-devel. You need to quit amuse anything on FreeBSD when you are clueless. > at the FreeBSD-gnome web page lookibng for any info on file mapping, > didn't find anything, so I am asking here.
