Hi Marcus, I appologise for putting the problem in fast words. I really 
appreciate the fact that I can install gnome 2.8 because of your work, 
instead of waiting the ports freeze.

Maybe I did something wrong here. Nautilus is unable to open any sort of 
files, because "there is no application associated with this file type". 
This include text files, pictures, and even directories. It can't open 
simple directories, it gives the same error.

I run FreeBSD 4.10 as desktop.

For example, when I click the homedir icon on my desktop, it sais "There is 
no action associated with "bu".", and bu is my username.

The same window provides a button for "Associate Application", but clicking 
on it makes the window vanish, and nothing happens (because the applet 
which is called when this button is pushed, is not found. I found it in the 
gnome 2.6 port source, as a tool in sysutils/gnome-control-center, but 
nowhere else in the filesystem.)

Here's a sample error:

(nautilus:332): GnomeUI-WARNING **: While connecting to session manager:
Authentication Rejected, reason : None of the authentication protocols 
specified are supported and host-based authentication failed.

(nautilus:332): Eel-WARNING **: Error starting command 
'gnome-file-types-properties 'x-directory/normal' 'Pseudo'': Failed to 
execute child process "gnome-file-types-properties" (No such file or directory)


(nautilus:332): Bonobo-WARNING **: Leaked a total of 1 refs to 1 bonobo 
object(s)


Thanks for your hard work, Marcus, and again, I appologise if I managed to 
offend you.

If I shall make snapshots, I believe it is not proper to submit them on the 
list, so please let me know, and thanks for your time again.

Yours,
