Not our problem, talk with the right maintainer.

We already have patch in mozilla/files/patch-gfx_src_ps_nsType1.cpp. Do  
you have it? The pointyhat can build it just fine.

Should be fixed in the lastest change of UPDATING for do 'portupgrade -rf  
pkg-config\*'.

Dunno, can't reproduce it. Someone will have to jump in and figure how to  
fix it.

Did you login in the correct user when you ran this script? If yes, then  
which path was it? Current, it only will looking in the directories:

dir=".gconf .gconfd .gnome .gnome2 .gnome2_private .gstreamer-0.10 \
	 .gstreamer-0.8 .icons .metacity .mozilla .themes"

Then, it will sed at the each ${prefix}/foo/bar:

list="lib/epiphany lib/firefox lib/gstreamer-0.8 lib/gstreamer-0.10 \
	  lib/mozilla lib/seamonkey lib/thunderbird share/gnome"

What do we need to add anything more in the list? We can't test every  
single apps and know what they put anything in the ~/.*. Current, it works  
for me with ~/.gconf/desktop/gnome/background/%gconf.xml that has:

<stringvalue>/usr/X11R6/share/gnome/pixmaps</stringvalue>

After run the script and it looks like this:

<stringvalue>/usr/local/share/gnome/pixmaps</stringvalue>

As you see, 'share/gnome' is in the list and it works.

It sounds like you don't have /usr/local/libexec/gnome-settings-daemon  
running?
