Gnome 2.6 broke OO and Evo

I was finally able to upgrade to gnome 2.6 on my 5.2 system. 

When finished, I fired up Evolution and it came up, but with no fonts.  I 
tried a basic portupgrade of evo to accomodate the changes, but afterwards, 
evo wouldn't even load.  Trying the old fashioned method, I did a make 
deinstall then make install, but still it doesn't load.  A task bar item 
comes up but no splash screen or anything, and after about 10 seconds it all 
disappears. 

Similar with OpenOffice, it just hangs when I try to fire anything up, 
including setup.  I did try pkg_deleting it and reinstalling the precompiled 
package, but setup still won't run. 

So, I am figuring the gnome upgrade broke something, but I have no idea on 
where to start on figuring this out.  Do I need to wait for new evo/OO 
source/packages? 

TIA
