Bruce, per Murray's request, here is some GNOME-related errata:

After installing GNOME, the default terminal font might be garbled.  If
this is the case, install the x11-fonts/bitstream-vera port, then
restart GNOME.  The new fonts should take effect automatically.  If they
do not, edit your current gnome-terminal profile, and select the
Bitstream Vera Sans Mono font.

Thanks.

Joe
