Once again, it was a leftover library that somehow did not get cleaned up properly during an upgrade (probbaly before I was consistently using portupgrade). Somehow, I ended up with an old libfreetype.so.6 hanging around in /usr/X11R6/lib! This got stuck in front of the actual /usr/local/lib/libfreetype.so.9 that was supposed to be used, so gnome-session (and other apps) blithely core dumped. I suppose that somewhere in the confusing period during my transition from freetype1 to freetype2, I managed to not clean up all of the remnants of various libs. I also seem to recall that freetype2 moved from X11R6 to local at some point and that is probably what caused the problem. Anyway, I had to relink all of the gnome2 apps, which is a royal pain in the ass! You cannot do it from the meta-port without rebuilding the entire world and instead have to list the problem ports individually...sigh... Anyway, gnome-session now works great. If I could only get past the password problem with gdm2... /Joe To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-gnome" in the body of the message
