Editors are broken after update

[Ralf Mardorf]

Wow, if on Linux something is fishy, it usually has to do with Lennart  
Poettering, does he break FreeBSD too?

$ su -
Password:
root at freebsd:/root # mcedit

Error
"/root" is not a regular file [ Dismiss ]

root at freebsd:/root # gedit

(gedit:17410): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display:

root at freebsd:/root # vi

vi does run

root at freebsd:/root # logout
$ mcedit
Failed to run:
Your old settings were migrated from /home/rocketmouse/.mc
to Freedesktop recommended dirs.

$ gedit

As user gedit does start, so perhaps I need gksu to run it as root.

Fortunately pico does run for the user and for root.

[1] That's a nightmare :(, I don't want to read something that has to do  
with Lennart Poettering.
What the hell is broken now, regarding to the insane ideas of this man?

OT:  
http://linux-bsd-sharing.blogspot.de/2008/08/howto-musicpd-music-player-daemon-on.html  
is not a valid howto for my upgraded FreeBSD ports :(.
