For some reason, I thought that packages for any version of 7 would work
on any other version of 7, so I thought that getting packages from
7-stable would be a good way to get up-to-date packages instead of nearly
year-old packages from 7.0-release. Oh well. I installed gnome from ports
and it works fine, so you were right about the packages. Thanks,
