Please send appropriate text to Bruce A. Mah. Bruce, per Murray's request, here is some GNOME-related errata: After installing GNOME, the default terminal font might be garbled. If this is the case, install the x11-fonts/bitstream-vera port, then restart GNOME. The new fonts should take effect automatically. If they do not, edit your current gnome-terminal profile, and select the Bitstream Vera Sans Mono font. Thanks.
