Fair enough. I'd like to know an example of a specific port that
incorporates GNOME. Then, I'd like to know exactly what was installed
on the machine _before_ this port was installed. Then, I'd like the
output of ls -l ${X11BASE}/bin _before_ the offending port was
installed. Finally, I'd like the contents of /etc/make.conf before the
offending port was installed.
If we're unnecessarily installing GNOME on systems (that is, not in the
way I described above), I'ld like to get that fixed.
