Thank you to all who replied to my message below. A clean install of 5.3, xorg, gnome &c.. solved the problem (a little drastic I'll admit, but I was going to have to upgrade at some point).

The standard error is noted below. `gnome2-2.8.2' no longer works and I've had to revert to `pwm-2003.06.17'. A recompile of `glib', `gtk', all of `Gnome2' &c. has failed to resolve the problem. Does it have something to do with the following? : /usr/home/ports/devel/glib20/files/patch-gthread_gthread-posix.c Any help would be very much appreciated.
