It's libgnomecanvas, gnomevfs2, pango and libgnomeui from what I've
seen after building with 1 day old Marcus ports.

I didn't want to recompile whole stuff and have gone like this:

libgnome-2.so.792               libgnome-2.so.800
libgnomecanvas-2.so.792         libgnomecanvas-2.so.800
libgnomeui-2.so.792             libgnomeui-2.so.800
libgnomevfs-2.so.792            libgnomevfs-2.so.800
libpango-1.0.so.501             libpango-1.0.so.600
libpangoft2-1.0.so.501          libpangoft2-1.0.so.600
libpangox-1.0.so.501            libpangox-1.0.so.600
libpangoxft-1.0.so.501          libpangoxft-1.0.so.600

But it was a secondary machine and I bet it is not a Good Thing (TM)
on a production workstation.
