Hi Martin,
I think you're misdirecting your disappointment. Neither Gnome nor
any of its apps is part of FreeBSD in any way, so maybe you could
instead write to the *Gnome* people voicing your feelings about
their lacking support for FreeBSD?
(I don't use anything as bloated as Gnome, so my FreeBSD experience
[since 4.3] has most of the time been quite dream-like.)
