If I remove ^ the yelp then we WILL get a whine from you about that GNOME is broke ^ because the 'Help' menu doesn't work. I was going to put WITH_NEW_XORG=YES in /etc/make.conf . Is that correct syntax? I was bitten by lack of yelp last April when running Gnumeric for income tax calculations: help didn't work. It ought to be a dependency in gnumeric or goffice, or at least optional. Tom
