i followed the upgrade instructions here:
http://www.freebsd.org/gnome/docs/faq2.html#q6
# pkgdb -F
# portupgrade -a
since i was using 2.12.1, wanted to update... I noticed a good few  
things failed and ended up with gnome not working as well as before..
some apps just wouldnt load - if i went to desktop -> admin ->  
anything in here, the app opens but a dialog saying i entered the  
wrong password always popped up.
