Hi Tijl,

'pkg upgrade cups' has led to a loss of some of my gnome3 components and 
now the gdm boot-time window has disappeared, on account of which 
gnome-session is not starting. I would not like to reinstall the whole 
OS, so can you now please help me with fixing this ?

Would you like me to send you the results the list of all installed 
packages on my system, as returned by 'pkg info' ?

Thanks for your help.

Regards
Manish Jain
