How did you upgrade to GNOME 2.6?  If you didn't use the method
documented at http://www.freebsd.org/gnome/docs/faq26.html, then shame
on you.  You should consider blowing away your GNOME 2.6 install, and
redoing it from scratch, or installing the 5.2.1 packages from
http://www.marcuscom.com/tinderbox.
