Thank you for your suggestion. But if I understand you correctly, I don't think that I fall into this catagory. I installed with the Source Developer option from the CD (no X, no Games). Then performed: cvsup -g -L 2 /root/stable-src-supfile && \ cvsup -g -L 2 /root/ports-supfile && portsdb -uU && pkgdb -F Then edited: /usr/sys/i386/conf/generic and saved to my custom config. Performed a make buildworld, make buildkernel make installkernel etc, etc... Then I built the entire Xorg-6.9 server and libraries from source. Everything worked/ performed as expected. I have not made anything that required XFree86 (and friends) - it's purely Xorg. But recently, I am recieving the error(s) mentioned /every/ time I build anything that depends on GTK - /anything/. That's why I was sure there is an issue in the GTK/GD source as provided in the ports tree. I have no difficulties with anything unless GTK is involved.
