This is fixed (or should be). I tested on 4-STABLE, and got positive results. I need feedback from 5.X and 6.X users. If this seems to work, I'll create another patchset and file a bug. Note: libgtop2 really needs someone dedicated to fixing it on FreeBSD. Things like CPU usage and network and disk utilization work, but could probably be better. Things like per-process stats are horribly broken, and need some love to be even slightly useful. If anyone was looking for a good way to get involved with GNOME and FreeBSD (and really learn some of the nuts and bolts of FreeBSD in the process), this would be a great way. > - ruby-gtk2/ruby-gnome2 don't build, next week should have a new > release. > - dasher crash at the exit.

I verified it with debugging malloc options on 4-STABLE, and was unable to reproduce the crash. >=20 > % pkg_info | grep dasher > dasher-3.2.13_2 >=20 > http://people.freebsd.org/~mezz/gdb/gdb-dasher.txt > - anything else? add under here. Well, this isn't a bug in the FreeBSD port, but the vfolder methods have been removed from gnome-vfs. This means that locations such as applications:/// and preferences:/// no longer work. I haven't heard about a replacement for menu editing yet. Non-US users may notice that their menus are no longer localized in GNOME 2.9. This is due to the migration from vfolders to gnome-menus. Translators are still working on the gnome-menus module, and the next release should have considerably more translations. Still to come: Gujarati, Arabic, Nepali, Polish, updated British English, and Korean.
