ALCON: GNOME released version 2.16.3 this week. We'll be catching up over the week. Progress will be tracked at http://homepage.mac.com/rhwood/ macports/gnome.html Reports indicate that GNOME finally builds successfully on Intel machines. Go by Landon a beer for having made that work. Port liboil and port control-center do not seem to exactly get along on powerpc machines. I hope to be able to fix this relatively rapidly. I hope also to be able to add port java-gnome at the 4.0.x version sometime soon as well. Two patches have already been submitted back to the project. Unless there is some great demand, I'm going to ignore java-gnome at earlier versions. I know that over the past quarter I have been slack about sending this report (or even doing anything with MacPorts), but I do believe that I will be able keep up the project and port maintenance most weeks from this point forward.

Builds successfully, yes. Doesn't seem to work very well yet, though. Has anyone else seen their terminal hang a few seconds after "eval `dbus-launch --sh-syntax --exit-with-session`"? The really interesting part is that dbus-launch doesn't seem to have exited -- it's still running, and still has its controlling pty. dbus-daemon is also running, and does seem to have shed its controlling pty, but does not seem to have forked (its pid is 1 greater than dbus-launch's). Good thing I still had a WidgetTerm open after adding the dbus-launch incantation to my .profile. Any insight? (The same thing happens whether or not dbus-daemon --system is actually running.)
