Looks like you have a problem with the xALF stuff. How did you install gnome? You might try recompiling /usr/ports/x11/xalf, and see if the problem goes away. xalf is the cute little application lauch feedback thing that pops up to let you know the system is doing something. This can also be disabled in the Gnome controlcenter.
