	That's what I wanted to know. acd0c will be the default but
users can pick another default in build time with WITH_DVD_DEVICE.
Check the updated port

	I forwarded both to the developers. I will be echoing the
feedback later.

	It's not limitted to your system. That's not an I-am-not-running-gnome issue
since developers use twm and fvwm instead of gnome. :)
	The problem is inside an Ogle library called by Ogle_gui.
Ogle_gui is only a gui shell to Ogle calls. The program is locking
up calling msgrcv in MsgNextEvent inside ogle-0.8.0/ogle/msgevents.c

DEBUG: inside MsgNextEvent before msgrcv; params q->msqid (1245184), q->mtype (5)

	I am forwarding all logs to the developers, let's hope we
can smooth this out.
	Thanks for the feedback.
