No, this is expected.  However, by this point, you shouldn't have any
ports on your system that would overwrite the GNOME 2 desktop.

That's the idea.  I just have so much in my backlog, I haven't started
on the GNOME 2 additions to bsd.gnomeng.mk.  However, my thughts are to
create WANT macros like:

WANT_GNOME_DESKTOP=	1
WANT_GNOME_DESKTOP=	2

Ports, like gaim, can set WANT_GNOME_DESKTOP=1, then check to see if the
user has the GNOME 1 desktop, if they do, the gaim applet will be
built.  If not, then the gaim application will be built.  Conversely,
ports like gimp-devel would set WANT_GNOME_DESKTOP=2, and do a similar
check.

For ports like file_applet_menu, a macro would exist like
USE_GNOME_DESKTOP=1.  If the GNOME 1 desktop isn't present, the port
would refuse to build.  I had even rolled the thought around in my head
for auto-creating a PRE-INSTALL script if one didn't already exist, that
would enforce this when installing packages as well.  Though this may
just be unreasonable.

There are known issues with libgnomeprint 2.2 and 2.0.  GNOME 2.2 may
ship with both.  In the meantime, the balsa2 from
http://www.marcuscom.com/downloads/freeze/ should support both.

This, like I said, may be a known problem.  It used to happen for me
with galeon-1.3.0 back in early gtk-2.1.

How did that happen?  I'll fix it right away, thanks.
