>Description:
Hello!

www/cheetah builds and install ok, but runtime is completely broken. 
When i start cheetah, and put "www.freebsd.org" in Location field, then press Enter, 
it is try do something in couple of minutes, then window is closed. I see this on console after the crash:

[mrk at smeshariki2 ~]> cheetah
Gdk-ERROR **: BadLength (poly request too large or internal Xlib length erro
  serial 18643 error_code 16 request_code 13 minor_code 0
Gdk-ERROR **: BadLength (poly request too large or internal Xlib length erro
  serial 18644 error_code 16 request_code 148 minor_code 0
[mrk at smeshariki2 ~]> 

All the menus in browser is not working too. 
Because of this and because of ugliness and useless of this port, i believe it should be marked as broken and then removed. Moreover, it installs its files into the same location as devel/py-cheetah, and in both Makefiles "conflicts" line are set.
