I just want to report that I'm no longer having a problem after a complete system refresh. I upgraded to -CURRENT (mostly for better gjournal support, not because of anything in this thread), uninstalled all my ports, deleted the /var/db/ports directory, removed /usr/X11R6 entirely, set $X11BASE to /usr/local in /etc/make.conf, removed everything but a few config files in /usr/local, and installed everything again. Between the firefox issue I was seeing, the gettext upgrade, and upgrading to -CURRENT I definitely needed to reinstall everything anyway. I decided to go ahead and make the X11BASE change so my life will be easier when the default gets changed. (I'm already running the experimental modularXorg ports tree.) JN
