Has anyone out there had > any success running gnome with FreeBSD? I tried Gnome for a _very_ short bit back when I upgraded one of my machines to 3.0 (when it was 3.0-RELEASE, so it's been awhile). The only real app I tried was Electric Eyes and it worked fine. I finally killed all the Gnome stuff though as it was just, to me, 10,000 dependencies to get apps that usually had not much more functionality than another available app (ie, in my case xv). If you give more specifics about problems and the particular applications that fail, someone might be able to provide more help.
