Is there some particular order in which gnome packages must be
installed to get a functioning system. I don't seem to be able to get
the 2.8 packages for 3.7 to allow me to associate files with
applications [via File/Properties] and I don't see any "Open with"
menu when right-clicking a file.

I discovered some errors in the logs noting that
"update-desktop-databse" couldn't be found and managed to get a
package [devel/desktop-file-utils] built from ports.

devel/desktop-file-utils doesn't appear to have an OPENBSD_3_7
version, so I'm not sure if I horked it trying to keep /usr/ports
reasonably in line with the base install.

cd /somewhere
cvs co ports/devel/desktop-file-utils
cd /usr/ports/devel
ln -s /somewhere/ports/devel/desktop-file-utils desktop-file-utils
cd desktop-file-utils
make package

but a package was indeed built and installed apparently without issue.
And I don't see any further errors in the logs about the missing
executable.

I just wondered about package install sequence because there is some
issue (which I also ran into) with gconf getting confused which
re-installing libgnome cures

I'm sure I'm missing something dead obvious...
