The only time I've had significant issues is when full gnome upgrades appear - I could go on for pages about the pain these cause. Thanks to the recent update I've removed it from my systems and will not be reinstalling it. Ports that require pieces of it are fine but not gnome itself. (I'm content with that decission and I don't have any suggestions for fixing it other then a reminder of POLA as it applies to FreeBSD and the observation that any port that requires the rebuilding of a major percentage of installed ports is perhaps not considering the full ramifications of the decisions being made).
