I recently upgraded my system from 5.4 to 6.0 using buildworld, etc. That went very smoothly. I then ran portupgrade , and that broke Gnome2. The primary problem was the clock applet could not start. I then ran gnome-upgrade.sh to do the job properly. It completed without error. But Gnome is still exhibiting bizarre behavior: The Gnome 2.12 splash screen will not disappear until you click on it. Gnome has amnesia. It will not remember it's settings. For example, I set the background, logout, and startx again: the background is Xorg's grey crisscross pattern. Gnome will only allow me to selectively left-click. For example, I can open a program, but I cannot click on any menu options. I can open a Preference Pane, but I cannot click on Logout under Desktop. I've tried deleting the gnome dot folders/files under my home folder. That doesn't help, much. It gives me the ability to click logout during the first session, but I then it doesn't work during subsequent sessions. If any config or log files would help diagnosis this, let me know which you would like to see. Any pointers would be very much appreciated.
