I posted this about a month ago, but haven't heard anything, so I'm
trying again:
When trying to re-install ruby on my system, I receive this error:

That still gives the 'cannot set X11BASE' error... If I run env after
setting the X11BASE as instructed above, it is set, but I still get
the error.

Cool. That seems to have worked. Odd that it didn't when I tried it

Friday I installed Chromium again because it would be nice to have a
browser to test in other than Firefox and Opera. It was installed using
portinstall -R chromium, which *appeared* to function properly.
However, trying to run chrome results in:

After updating gtk following (and most other ports) following the

And menus work in Firefox 3.6. I'll have to actually work with it for a
day tomorrow to see how it holds up, but I've tried a variety of things
and it seems to be playing nicely.
It looks like the solution was to rebuild the kernel with semaphore
support through P1003_1B_SEMAPHORES.
Thanks.

I recently was having problems with Firefox crashing, which appear to be
related to a requirement for semaphore support for Firefox after the
upgrade to the new version of GTK.
Anyway, this left me with a 7.4 kernel and a 7.2 world. Which I
understand is supposed to work.

At this point, I guess I'm looking for recommendations on a window

Here are the major problems with XFCE4 4.6:

I don't think it's XORG for a couple of reasons:

working fine under xfce4 4.4
* problems don't
