Comment:

 Note that it's not the libgnome library that gnome-terminal needs; it
 needs the schemas the libgnome port registers when it's activated. This
 explains why gnome-terminal still works if you install libgnome and then
 deactivate libgnome. You might think this means libgnome should just be a
 build dependency, but this would break gnome-terminal if libgnome is ever
 corrected to unregister the schemas when it's deactivated. Probably it
 would be most correct for libgnome to be a runtime dependency of gnome-
 terminal.

 I increased the revision of gnome-terminal in r85008 to get libgnome
 installed for those users who didn't have it before.
