 Because our gimp-app/Makefile is a bit out of date for gimp 2.6. It needs  
 to be catch up. I will fix it. I have shown you in the previous email like  
 this:
 
 ----------------------------------------------------
 if test "x$with_gvfs" != xno; then
     uri_plugin="yes (using GIO/GVfs)"
 elif test "x$have_gnomevfs" = xyes; then
     uri_plugin="yes (using gnome-vfs)"
 elif test "x$have_libcurl" = xyes; then
     uri_plugin="yes (using libcurl)"
 elif test "x$os_win32" = xno; then
     uri_plugin="yes (using wget)"
 fi
 ----------------------------------------------------
 
 If it finds gvfs then it will using gvfs by default rather than the rest.  
 The gvfs is a new project and is first time to be part of GNOME 2.22.  
 Probably something is unfinish or bug in gvfs 0.x, but at least it's fixed  
 in gvfs 1.x that is in MarcusCom CVS. It will be merging into FreeBSD  
 ports tree when FreeBSD 7.1 is released. However, I will add disable gvfs  
 in FreeBSD ports and fix a bit more. As for the MarcusCom CVS, I will fix  
 the dependency and reword by use gvfs rather than gnome-vfs.
 
 TODO of grapics/gimp for FreeBSD ports:
 ----------------------------------------------------
 - Disable gvfs.
 - Add iso-codes dependency.
 - Add autocheck gnomeui dependency.
 - Probably more if I find any.
 ----------------------------------------------------

 It's better to use gnome-vfs or gvfs, because it supports a lot more for  
 URI stuff like samba, fuse, ftp and etc.

 I will tonight or tomorrow. Thanks for report and test!
