1. notification-area-applet crashes at logout

If you have a notification area on one of your panels, you will receive a segfault when logging out. Bug 105421 has been filed with GNOME Bugzilla. There is no workaround other than not to use the notification area applet, or simply ignore the crash dialog.

2. Unable to use gst-thumbnail

If you try to use the gst-thumbnail application to thubmnail video files, you may encounter an error saying colorspace is not available. You must rebuild multimedia/gstreamer-plugins with Hermes support to correct this. To do this, specify -DWITH_HERMES when build gstreamer-plugins.

3. Wireless applet does not work

The wireless monitoring applet does not work under FreeBSD. It relies on files in the Linux proc file system that do not exist under FreeBSD (even under linprocfs). Work is underway to add FreeBSD Aironet support to this applet. If you're interested in helping out, contact marcus@FreeBSD.org.

4. gnomesystemmonitor does not display correct stats

The gnomesystemmonitor may not list all processes or display correct CPU or memory information under FreeBSD. Patches are needed to correct this problem. If you are interested in helping, please contact freebsd-gnome@FreeBSD.org.
