Maybe dumb question: Did you upgrade "ruby" as instructed in /usr/ports/UPDATING before upgrading Gnome? (I ran into that trap a while ago)
Like a proper n00b, I didn't even know there was such a directory. I followed the upgrade FAQ at freebsd.org on the assumption that it was a full set of instructions. Thank you very much for this tidbit. I'll upgrade ruby and check out that dir.

Are your problems only related to X11 - or do you have the problems when running in "console"-mode too?
Try switching virtual terminals with <Alt><Ctrl><F-key> (like <Alt><Ctrl><F2>). First of all this switches you out to a console-terminal leaving X running and thus gives to the ability to track things down further.

The problem only seems to be with X11. I tried running several commands in console mode that I can normally run from any location and they all worked fine. so far startx seems to be the only thing that won't run like it used to. I read something about shells having to be rehashed to update the PATH lines? I run in bash if that makes a difference.
Thank you very much for your help so far.
