This has the effect, according to the client's author, that it will always open a TCP port due to its use of ORBit. Not being very familiar with GNOME, I'll take his word for it. I suggest leaving out that option since it leads to patently undesirable behaviour with unknown security implications. >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: Remove --enable-panel from CONFIGURE_ARGS in Makefile. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
