<a
href="http://www.gnome.org/start/2.12/notes/en/">http://www.gnome.org/start/2.12/notes/en/</a>,
some of the most exciting new features of GNOME &gnomever; are:</p>
<ul>
<li>FreeBSD support for CPU frequency monitoring, ACPI power
management, wireless signal strength monitoring for all
supported drivers, and disk read/write utilization
<li>Better keyboard layout and feature control
<li>Sleek selection of desktop backgrounds
<li>Many new applications, applets, and UI enhancements
<li>Sexy new default theme, Clearlooks

a couple regressions that slipped in, both in the GNOME code and in its implementation
within FreeBSD. Some of the more visible issues are:</p>
<ul>
<li>Changing the GTK theme can cause a few apps to crash. This issue is known to the
GNOME/Linux world, so it is not a FreeBSD-specific issue. You can ignore
the error message, and click the "Restart" button to restart the
crashed application when the dialog pops up. You should be fine after that.
<li>The KDE menu is missing some icons. KDE failed to follow the published
freedesktop.org standards, and places its icons in a non-standard
location. GNOME 2.10 introduced a mass move towards complete compliance
with freedesktop.org standards, so there's not much that can be done
until KDE moves its default icons into a location that GNOME recognizes.
<a href="http://standards.freedesktop.org/icon-theme-spec/icon-theme-spec-latest.html">http://standards.freedesktop.org/icon-theme-spec/icon-theme-spec-latest.html</a>
<li>[gnome-session]: Options for shutting down or rebooting
will not appear on logout unless GDM is running on the
same machine.
<li>[multiload-applet]: The disk reads/writes monitor does
not work on -CURRENT. A solution is currently being
sought.
<li><a href="http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=137388">
#137388</a>: [gnome-terminal] gnome-terminal has a problem
with dynamic titles and vim (<b>UPDATE:</b> See this
<a
href="http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-gnome/2004-May/006689.html">email</a>
for a workaround to this problem)
<li><a
href="http://bugzilla.ximian.com/show_bug.cgi?id=73375">#73375</a>:
[evolution] Evolution will crash when selecting a new
Server Type for an account with malloc debugging enabled.
This only affects -CURRENT users by default. To disable
malloc debugging, run the command <tt>ln -sf aj
/etc/malloc.conf</tt> as root.
<li>GnomeVFS-2 now has native support for sftp methods. Fully
non-interactive publickey authentication works on all versions
of FreeBSD, but FreeBSD 5.X is required for password or
passphrase authentication.
</ul>
<p>There are currently no known FreeBSD-specific issues with
&gnomever;. See <a
href="http://www.gnome.org/start/2.12/notes/en/rnknownissues.html">
http://www.gnome.org/start/2.12/notes/en/rnknownissues.html</a>
