Why don't you learn how to use 'find', 'locale', 'whereis' or other search  
tools? GNOME even has the search feature. They are at  
/usr/X11R6/share/gnome/applications/.

x11/gnome2 is not an app. It's just a slave port that call on a lot of  
apps to be build and install. If you want to find mozilla.desktop, check  
in either www/mozilla or www/mozilla-devel.

You need to quit amuse anything on FreeBSD when you are clueless.
