Below are a list of known issues with GNOME 2.2 that are specific to FreeBSD. They are not the only known issues, however. Please familiarize yourself with the GNOME 2.2 release notes which contains a list of known issues that affect all platforms.
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. [UPDATE: This is fixed as of version 2.2.0.1_1 of gnomepanel.]
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. [UPDATE: As of version 0.6.0_1 of gstreamer-plugins, Hermes support is enabled by default, and thus this error should no longer occur.]
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. + marcus@FreeBSD.org. [UPDATE: As of version 2.2.0_1 of gnomeapplets2, support for Aironet cards is working in the wireless-applet. As of version 2.2.2_1 of gnomeapplets2, support for both Aironet and wi-driven cards is working in the wireless-applet (thanks to David Jonas).]
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.
