Thank you for fixing it and thanks for the corroborations. The hard
part was trying to understand what was desired there. $HOME did not fix
it, but it did prevent it from trying to create the directory. Of
course, I was unsure if what I had changed in the ports caused it.
To trim some of the dependencies (and see if it would still work), I
tried the two following patches. They removed gconf2, gnomevfs2 and bdb
and their dependencies from the requirements. I try to run a lean(er)
system without too much GNOME and KDE installed. Go Fluxbox! :)
They may disable unknown (to me) pieces, but they appear to get the
stuff I use to work.
