This looks like a typical configuration error, not quite
uncommon today. :-)

Note that you shouldn't run "startx" from your root account
(which I assume you do because of "#startx"). For your local
user account, make sure you've configured Gnome 2 to start
automatically via ~/.xinitrc or ~/.xsession respectively.
Refer to the FreeBSD Gnome FAQ for details.

As you're also using GDM (Gnome display manager) for login,
your ~/.xsession should contain "exec gnome2-session" (which
I think to remember is the name of the Gnome desktop
executable, but check the documentation to be sure).

Looks correct.

You can only run this program when in X (e. g. calling it from
an X terminal).

Check your X configuration: If both input methods work in
text mode, but not within X, that's often the error.

If I remember correctly, it's "portupgrade -arf", but as you're
using portupgrade, see "man portupgrade", the EXAMPLES section
should show the proper options.
