Right now, if you want a good collection of apps, you will still need some 1.4.1 bits. The GNOMENG project is trying to ensure that compiling those bits won't overwrite your GNOME 2.0 desktop. I think we've taken care of the entire GNOME 1.4.1 fifth toe. >=20 > > Things are good.

I'm still running 1.4.1 on my -CURRENT machine. However, sobomax runs GNOME 2.0 on -CURRENT I think. If you're seeing crashes in gnome-session, you might try removing all your X fonts directories, then reinstall the 4.2.0 fonts. This fixed some other users' problems in the past after they upgraded from X 4.1.x.
