There was a period, many moons ago, when there were a few problems with libglade-gnome. Those have since been fixed. That you are having similar problems, for many months, indicates a woefully out-of-date something... > I generally do a make buildworld && make installworld every month.

You would have had tons of problems at this point, with the reinstallation process complaining about addition of ports that were already present in /var/db/pkg/* ... Running XFree86 4.0 on a production machine is not a good idea, too, but that's beside the point.. Rather than go through an endless question and answer session, I would suggest that you trash your backup production server as described previously, get everything working, swap the two machines out, and repeat the process. Trust me, it'll be the quickest method.
