>Description:
I tried installing the last version of vboxgtk, but starting it I get the following error:

$ vboxgtk 

(vboxgtk:20081): Gtk-WARNING **: Unknown property: GtkAboutDialog.license-type
/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/gi/types.py:44: Warning: cannot create instance of abstract (non-instantiatable) type `GtkBox'
  return info.invoke(*args)


>From what I can understand after reading about that error message, the problem is that it has been developed with a version of glade targeting gtk-3.
In fact, installing x11-toolkits/gtk30, the application starts normally.

With the attached patch the application starts even using gtk-2.
As it's the first time I see that application, I can't judge if something get broken by this and at the moment I have no time to do test it thoroughly against both gtk versions.
>How-To-Repeat:
Install deskutils/vboxgtk and start vboxgtk without having x11-toolkits/gtk30 installed.
>Fix:
Either make the port depending on x11-toolkits/gtk30 or patch ${WRKSRC}/data/xml/vboxgtk.xml
