Hi,
thanks for the info. I just posted a local patch for 2.26.0.90 to
ports@ for those who can't live without working session (like me), I
guess that should do it for a while. So far it seems to be working
fine and doesn't break anything, hope they will push it to 2.26.1
soon.

By the way, slightly offtopic, but related - I noticed that
gnome-session still installs the heavily outdated
freebsd-splashscreen-pack, with some splash screens dating back to
Gnome 2.12 (and some of them just plainly eye-bleeding hideous, but
that was always the case)..  I guess I'd be able to get a few properly
designed FreeBSD-related splashscreens done (and without embedded
version number in them so they ca be reused in the future), is there
any interest in that?
