=Technically, this won't work, but that's okay.

I don't really use gconf (xmleditor dragged it in through the
gnomelibs), so I'm more interested in the "technicality", than in
getting anything done :-) Why would it not work? Seems to:

=The DB backend isn't used by GConf anyway. You could simply hack
=gconf's configure to remove DB detection altogether, and that would be
=fine.

I would think, it is imperative, that the bogus dependency is cut out
from the popular port. Unless I misunderstand you, this is a bug in
gconf, that the FreeBSD port of gconf better fixes, is not it?
