Lots of people are getting bitten by the effects of the bump in the
libicu* shlib ABI version numbers -- there really should be a note
in UPDATING about it.  It affects all sorts of different packages --
I've even got one system where it took out OpenLDAP.

Anyhow, one solution is to rebuild all ports that depend on ICU.  That's
unfortunately going to be quite a lot of ports on a typical desktop system.

   # portupgrade -fr icu-3.8.1

will do the trick: alternatives using other ports management software
are left as an exercise for the reader.  This will fix gdm for you.

	Cheers,
