Thanks Joe, that worked for me.  I always do portupgrade -ra, but I
didn't have gnomecontrolcenter2 installed, nor did I run the g-s-d.
(I'd not noticed before that I lost the attachments thing, because I
don't often send attachments.)

However, I find that gnome-control-center has now taken over my desktop
settings, like my desktop background and mouse preferences (I use
WindowMaker).  Oh well.
