Hi Io,
I do admit that I have no direct need for gnome, though I do want to
try it out.
I agree with you that there has not been a satisfying answer on how to
get gnome
working through Macports.
I am trying to figure it out. Maybe someone who has gnome running can
post on their setup.
The way I look at the problem is with dbus and how to get it working
under Snow Leopard.
I had run the the commands listed in port notes dbus. But, evidently,
under Snow Leopard
requires more tweeking than is documented.
I will post again once I get things running.
regards
Keith.
