Hi

On FreeBSD there is a problem with the new version of glib:
$ svn log -r 393663 /usr/ports/devel/glib20
------------------------------------------------------------------------
r393663 | kwm | 2015-08-06 18:14:42 +0200 (czw) | 6 linii

Disable kqueue for now, so we can take our time finding out what is up
with the file/directory monitoring code. And people can use there
Gtk based programs again.
PR:             202128

File managers such as caja, pcmanfm or thunar cannot refresh icons. So
one has to manually press F5 to refresh what is in a directory. Also the
Trash doesn't work -- there is no any files in the trash visible but
files are present under ~/.local/share/Trash/files/.

The solution is to downgrade glib to 383107 revision:
# cd /usr/ports
# svn up -r 383107
# portupgrade -f glib glib-networking glibmm

but this causes problems if an application wants a new glib library, for
example compiling libre office I get:
Package 'gio-2.0' has version '2.42.2', required version is '>= 2.43.4'
configure:34015: error: gtk3 libraries of the correct versions, not found

Is there any progress on fixing glib?
