'Critical' Warining When Closing Gnome2

Hi!

    I am a newbie running 5.4 on an AMD Sempron with a dual boot 
(Win98SE) in a home environment.  I am networked with two other Window 
boxes to share a high-speed DSL.  My machine has been running smoothly 
for a few months now.

    I have two issues that I would gratefully appreciate some insight 
into and I think that they may be related.  First, I get error messages 
when I shut down Gnome2.  Second, portupgrade skips the upgrade for 
Gnome2 (I think because Mozilla fails).

    Here is what I can read on my screen after I shutdown Gnome2:

(nautilus: 22504): Eel-CRITICAL **: preferences_entry_remove_callback: 
assertion 'entry -> callback-list !=NULL' failed
** (nautilus: 22311): WARNING**: destroyed file still being monitored

waiting for X server to shutdown FreeFontPath:FPE 
"/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc" refcount is 2, should be 1; fixing

    I've had the above messages for months.

    As to the portupgrade, (and again, I mention this only because it 
may be related), I do a cvsup on both my source and ports every time 
before I do a portupgrade.  Here are the error messages that I receive 
(as much as I can read on the screen):

ERROR: Error 65280 occurred while making 
/usr/ports/editors/openoffice.org-1.1/work/OOo_1.1.5/svx/source/dialog

    I would gladly deinstall Mozilla as I have installed Firefox as 
well.  But I need Mozilla's mail services as I had a lot of troulble 
with Evolution and uninstalled it.  As well, I would deinstall 
Openoffice if it is a known offender, but it took so long to compile 
with Java that I would hate to give up on it now.

    As I mentioned above, I cvsup'd my source/ports and ran 'portupgrade 
-a' about half a dozen times to see if the situation would correct 
itself.  Should I just continue with the portupgrades or is there 
something that I should address first?

    Any thoughts, comments, suggestions or advice would be greatly 
appreciated.

Thanks,
Lawrence

    IANAE, but IIRC you can't use portupgrade to upgrade Gnome2.

    Take a look at www.freebsd.org/gnome for directions and a specially
    crafted upgrade script that is supposed to do the trick for you.

    HTH,

    I believe that the script is used when one upgrades from Gnome 1.9 
to Gnome 2.0.  But I am already running Gnome2.10, trying to upgrade it 
to 2.10.2.  It's not that Gnome2 failed to upgrade, but rather it was 
skipped, probably because Mozilla failed.
