ahh!  sorry about that, i was working from what my memory of the error
dialog was, and i was mistaken.

too bad about the circular dependencies problem.  oh well, i guess
this will be less of an issue, since most people will install from a
gnome2 meta-port anyway, so they won't likely notice.

keep up the good work.

by the way, i worked up some updated ports for libsigc++ and gtkmm
(the new name for gtk--, the c++ bindings for gtk+), and send-pr'd
them a while back.  they've become out of date since, but if the
freebsd-gnome people would be interested i can update them again (and
do the same for the other gnome related c++ stuff).  it's not all 
that much work to get them working, and it would add one more set of 
bindings for the gtk/gnome2 ports, which is always good.
