Still broken today, no | change. (I'm not a portupgrade wizard, buy any means.) I have not seen this on either of my GNOME 2.8 test machines, but there was a problem similar to this under GNOME 2.6. The solution was to do a forced upgrade of libgnome, gnomevfs2, and gnomecontrolcenter2 twice. So: # portupgrade -f libgnome gnomevfs2 gnomecontrolcenter2 # portupgrade -f libgnome gnomevfs2 gnomecontrolcenter2 This fixes a condition where some files are deleted by the installation of one port, and reinstalled by the installation of another. If this doesn't fix the problem, try creating a dummy gnome account, and see if the problem reoccurs on a clean account. If not, then you may have some bad GConf settings under your normal user.
