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.) -- FreeBSD 4.6-STABLE 2:59PM up 1 day, 20:52, 10 users, load averages: 0.08, 0.15, 0.08 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
