    It started with a bug-fix update to one part of XFree86. After I
    installed it, my Gnome panel refused to load some applets. As the Gnome
    desktop opens I get error dialogs like these:

    =-=-=-=-=
    The panel encountered a problem while loading
    "OAFIID:GNOME_WorkspaceSwitcherApplet".
    Details: Failed to resolve, or extend
    '!prefs_key=/apps/panel/profiles/default/applets/applet_0/prefs;background=none:;orient=up;size=medium;locked_down=false

    Do you want to delete the applet from your configuration?

    I ran pkg_version and noticed that all of XFree86 had newer versions,
    from 4.2 to 4.4. I thought I was out of whack and just needed to update
    the whole thing. I did portupgrade XFree86, but it failed here:

    I googled this and found one previous posting in August, but no reply.

    I updated my ports and 4.10 STABLE source trees and rebuilt my kernel,
    but that did not help.

    Does it matter that my sources are on an NFS server and I only mount one
    at a time (/usr/ports or /usr/src)?

    Thanks in advance!
