Hi, In the meantime I could figure out the root cause of the problem and a "cure" against it - maybe this is of help to others also running into a problem like this: My problem was that the entire directory /usr/local/etc/dbus-1 was missing on my machine. So I went to another box, also running 9.2, and did a "pkg_info -W /usr/local/etc/dbus-1/session.conf" which is just one of the files contained in the dbus-1 directory in a working installation. pkg_info -W revealed that dbus-1.6.18 was the package/port responsible for these files, so I went ahead re-built dbus-1.6.18 from ports, did a make deinstall && make reinstall and everything was fine again. What I don't know however why this directory was missing in the first place, but at least now Gnome is working again. -ewald
