It started with a bug-fix update to one part of XFree86. After I
installed it, my Gnome panel refused to load some applets. As the Gnome
desktop opens I get error dialogs like these:

=-=-=-=-=
The panel encountered a problem while loading
"OAFIID:GNOME_WorkspaceSwitcherApplet".
Details: Failed to resolve, or extend
'!prefs_key=/apps/panel/profiles/default/applets/applet_0/prefs;background=none:;orient=up;size=medium;locked_down=false

Do you want to delete the applet from your configuration?

I ran pkg_version and noticed that all of XFree86 had newer versions,
from 4.2 to 4.4. I thought I was out of whack and just needed to update
the whole thing. I did portupgrade XFree86, but it failed here:

I googled this and found one previous posting in August, but no reply. 

I updated my ports and 4.10 STABLE source trees and rebuilt my kernel,
but that did not help.

Does it matter that my sources are on an NFS server and I only mount one
at a time (/usr/ports or /usr/src)?

Thanks in advance!
