Thanks for the pointer to the handbook; I never have done much
Gnome setup work. I decided to bite the bullet and upgrade alll
four BSD servers to the lastest Gnome. A fault in portupgrade
caused me to pkg_delete kde3, so I'm rebuuilding that too. ...At
least, after hours of pounding keys, the computers are doing the
work.
