Let me read through it more carefully -- there is a lot in the note.
But I do have it configured properly as far as I can tell and it worked
before.

Yes (0.2.1_1), and yes gconf was changed according to the upgrade FAQ.

Sorry, I don't have it recorded.  I'm pretty sure that it was liboil;
the issue was that the portupgrade -f did not install liboil as there
was already the previous version installed (I think).  So I did it
manually.  The ports tree was updated just before I started the upgrade
so the ports tree should have been in sync.  I had some issues with
liboil when I upgraded gnutils a couple of weeks ago, so it is possible
that what I saw affects only me.

Thanks -- I will take it out.

No, IMAP is not running.  

In general, the graphics responsiveness has gone *way* down.  xorg
consumes about half of one CPU at idle, and redrawing the screen is
terribly slow.  While that happens, total CPU usage jumps to 80%, which
is way too much.

For example, if I have a terminal window over evolution and move it to
the other monitor (dual screens, Xinerama) it takes about four seconds
to redraw the screen (the evolution inbox).

Also, opening an email message takes a few seconds, and the message
flashes three times before it give a solid image.  It also seems that
opening files no longer follows the mouse pointer -- program windows
always open in the left screen.  That is different than before, and a
minor irritation.

These sound more like xorg issues than Gnome, but the upgrade to
xorg-server was forced.  xorg was up-to-date as of a couple of weeks ago
when I did the gnutils upgrade.  

Shall I post my observations to the x11 list?
