Yeah... I installed from the DragonFly snapshot and then have been 
CVSuping
ever since.  Is there any other step I should take to make sure I do

I can't build the kernel today either.

CVSup and
cvs update -dP to get that.

Yep.  I don't really have the time or interest to work on GNOME but I

I can do for KDE.  Its probably not going to be a one-man job in the 
long run though.
