Well, I did the pkgdb -fu, and I don't see any different results.
  I guess one thing I could do is completely re-install PANGO-1.4.0, right?  I tried that,
from ports but it complains about setting a FORCE_PKG_REGISTER variable...and I'm not sure
I know how to do that?  Can someone quickly point that out?  Are there any other thoughts on
getting this (potential) PANGO-1.4.0 problems fixed?

Thank you very much...
