I just did a _virgin_ install of gnome2 on my 64-bit system and had NO
problems whatsoever!

Note: virgin means there was _never_ a previous installtion of gnome2
on my machine, since I find gnome much too bloated to be useful.

Anyway, this leads me to conclude that there's a remnant of some gnome2
dependency on your machine which is causing all the problems.

I recommend a radical cure:

1) delete /usr/X11R6
2) delete /usr/local
3) delete /var/db/pkg/*
4) delete /var/db/ports/*
5) do a fresh install of gnome2

for Ernst Winter: I also installed AbiWord with no problem. I suspect you
have similar trash on your system.
