Hi-
I'm pretty new to MacPorts, X11 and linux in general, so please bear with me!
I've been trying to get GNOME to install, and have run into problems with Gnome-Applets. I remember seeing a post in this list archives back on April 1 (two long weeks ago) with the same error that I am encountering. The responses seemed to indicate that the error would be fixed within 24 hours, due to an upgrade from Gnome 2.16 to 2.18. I've been using PortAuthority under OSX and have since run an update on MacPorts 1.4 (none needed) and ran an "add port descriptions" as well. Some components for Gnome are showing 2.16.2 while others are showing 2.18.0, Gnome-Applets is reporting 2.16.2
I'm doing this on a new install of MacPorts, started in late march. I haven't installed anything other than the attempt to get Gnome installed (I'm holding off until I have Gnome installed before adding some of the other items in which I am interested.)
I've have tried a clean and reinstall of Gnome-Applets with no luck.
Today's error message is the same I have been receiving these past weeks:

It looks to me that the problem is about 5 lines up, and with the OMF maintainer element which seems to be set in a geyes.xml (document?). I have looked for filenames with geyes in them and have not discovered any in the /opt directory.
Any advice would be most appreciated!
