The meta-port is just /usr/ports/x11-wm/xfce4, which you haven't
installed.

Everything went well. When I did a startx, xfce4 came up nicely.
Everything seems ok, but when I click on Terminal/xterm, X crashes
returning
me to the console.

Is there something missing or wrong in my setup ? Any help would be
appreciated.
Install /usr/ports/x11-wm/xfce4 to fill out the rest of the requirements,
then do startxfce4.

I installed /usr/ports/x11-wm/xfce4 too. The results are exactly the same.
Interestingly, I can run gnome-terminal in xfce without any hiccup. Even
more interestingly, I can xfce's Terminal from Gnome pretty well. There
are
a few warnings though :

(Terminal:20866): Gtk-WARNING **: Could not find the icon
'stock_terminal-newtab'. The 'hicolor' theme
was not found either, perhaps you need to install it.
You can get a copy from:

Try a make clean install clean and see if it still does that. Also,
are your ports up to date?


Hi Jack/Warren/All,

I did :

make deinstall
make clean
make install clean

The results are the same. I downloaded ports.tar.gz last week, so I
think the ports should be fairly up2date. However, I would still
greatly appreciate it if somebody could send me an sh/bash script or
command that would demonstrate how to use cvsup to keep my ports
directory up2date. Using cvs is one area which, thanks to my Linux
heritage, is best rated as ERROR_NONE


Manish,

There's a make.conf and script on this page which might be of help in
keeping your ports uptodate:

http://www.shute.org.uk/misc/freebsd_uptodate.html

When you've 'suped your ports, you'll notice that there is some stuff
about xfce in /usr/ports/UPDATING. It might be related to your
problems.

Regards,

Frank
