 Thanks for your report!
 
 Actually, this is a known problem which has been discussed
 on the mailing-list:
 
 http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-ports/2005-December/027960.html
 
 The problem seems to be that the linux-gtk2 port is actually
 to old, but a newer gtk2 version would require an upgrade
 of the whole linux compatibility layer. I'm not ready to come
 up with a sound solution that wouldn't break hundreds of
 other ports.
 
 Another way around this might be to actually compile the
 linux version. I don't know why (almost?) all linux ports are
 binary. Some of them are proprietary and come without
 source, but the other ones are treated rather unfair. Sure
 as hell, it's a lot easier to make a binary port than a real
 one, but imho it's very wrong.
