I just replaced XFree86 with X.org. It took quite a bit of work, even with the meta-port. I had major trouble with the meta-port due to poorly=specified prerequisites and inability of portinstall to operate on it. Since upgrading, several panel applets no longer work. The WindowList and WorkspaceSwitcher applets no longer start up, instead giving some sort of incomprehensible OAFID error which I have no idea how to fix. This causes much frustration, as I rely on the Window List applet to recover iconified applications, such as evolution. Therefore, I can no longer iconify anything, leading to much frustration in my daily work. I assume that if I can ever solve the WindowList applet problem, then I see no problem with X.org. /Joe
