No doubt you had previously installed gtk-1.3.x for some reason, and some of the GNOME configuration scripts picked it up. -- Jacques Vidrine / n@nectar.com / jvidrine@verio.net / nectar@FreeBSD.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
