Unfortunately you can't currently use GNOME1 programs with GNOME2
desktop. :( We are well aware of the problem and planning to address
it really soon. However there is one trick, which should allow you to
have your favorite GNOME1 programs with GNOME2 desktop. Do as follos:

1. Deinstall both GNOME1 and GNOME2 bits and pieces. The simplest way
to do it is: pkg_delete -r gtk-\*.
2. Install GNOME1 desktop by doing: cd /usr/ports/x11/gnomecore ; make
install
3. Install all your favorite GNOME1 programs.
4. Tweak /usr/ports/x11/gnome2/Makefile by removing lines between
pre-everything:: (inclusive) and do-install (exclusive), then install
GNOME2 desktop by doing: cd /usr/ports/x11/gnome2 ; make install

After that some GNOME1 files will be replaced with their GNOME2
counterparts, so that you will be unable to use GNOME1 desktop itself,
but should have no problems with compiling and running GNOME1/GNOME2
programs and running GNOME2 desktop.
