Hi all,

as we've gone through the 4.0-RELEASE/STABLE transition to 4.1-RC (soon to be
RELEASE/STABLE) the cpuload applet under GNOME appears to be broken without
some sort of recompile.

Now I get the following message when going into X with GNOME and the cpuload
applet in the panel:

 Can only run on FreeBSD 4.0-RELEASE i386

Two days ago I installed 4.0-RELEASE from the CDs onto this machine (the old
"no time to upgrade" syndrome caught me) but I've since updated the world to
4.1-RC through sources.

I've tried deleting and reinstalling the gnomeapplets port but I still get the
same thing. What part of GNOME needs to be recompiled to make this applet
happy? 

I also saw this same thing when I originally started running GNOME under
3.4-STABLE and I transitioned to 3.5-STABLE. At the time, I had to resort to
deleting every bloody component of GNOME and compiling the whole thing again
before I could get the cpuload applet to work. There's got to be an easier
solution.

On a related note, how does one "recursively delete" a port? Say if I wanted to
delete all of GNOME, how does one do this? When I did it "manually" I took the
ouptut of the target pretty-print-run-depends-list and did a "foreach" on all
those packages listed and deleted them. Again, there's just gotta be a better
way ...
