Hi. Sorry to hop in late on this, but I just went through
this the other night on 4-stable. I ended up having to
force reinstall about half of the apps that required 
pango 1.4 to fix this. I think that it was because the other software
that's gnome dependant, but not 'hard-core' gnome, doesn't
realize that pango's moved until the app's reinstalled with the
new dependency, and doing neither a pkgdb -F or an '-fu'
(which I was saying quite a bit, btw), will fix the dependency
until a re-install.

just my .02. hth.
