After I updated x11-wm/compiz, GNOME was not able to start the

automagically replaced by compizmanager.desktop. Now I tracked
it down to this commit:

To me, it looks far too restrictive. At least, I'd like to allow
'-' and '_'. Please see the attached patch.
Any objections?
Shouldn't you fix whatever is trying to call compizmanager not to
use .desktop file instead?
GNOME session manager calls the compiz-manager, i.e., the user has to
change it manually. Actually, x11-wm/compiz/pkg-message recommended
this:
"If you are using gnome, you can use the configuration editor to set
the value of:
desktop->gnome->session->required_components->windowmanager =
compiz-manager
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
This will enable compiz as your default window manager."
I am quite sure there are similar instructions on the net.

Also, bsd.ports.mk shouldn't change what the port tells it to do,
without informing anybody.
I'm sure it took Jung-uk Kim many hours to figure out why it wasn't
working. Other users are going to be in a similar spot. Many users
will never figure it out.
