20071024:
  AFFECTS: All GNOME users and ports depend on gnomehier
  AUTHOR: gnome at FreeBSD.org

  GNOME has been updated to 2.20.1. All ports that depend on gnomehier have
  had their DATADIR moved from share/gnome/ to share/ (e.g.
  ${LOCALBASE}/share/gnome/ to ${LOCALBASE}/share/).
  This puts the FreeBSD GNOME ports more in line with the default
  GNOME installation hierarchy. To find the specific directories that
  have changed, see misc/gnomehier/files/dirlist. To upgrade your
  installed ports, you will need to use either sysutils/portupgrade or
  sysutils/portmaster.

    Portupgrade users:
        # pkgdb -Ff
        # portupgrade -f -o textproc/rarian textproc/scrollkeeper
        # portupgrade -a

    Portmaster users:
        # portmaster -o textproc/rarian textproc/scrollkeeper
        # portmaster -a

  If some of icons, applets, themes or other customized items have
  disappered from your desktop in this upgrade, you will need to
  remove and re-add these items to make them appear again due to the
  DATADIR change.
