Error starting gnome-shell

[sramaswamy]

Hi Folks,

I have FreeBSD 8 running GNOME 2.28.2 built from the ports. I have installed x11/gnome-shell but am unable to start it using either "gnome-shell" or "gnome-shell --replace". Placing the latter in the start-up also fails. Here are the outputs from the commands

gnome-shell

Failed to start shell

gnome-shell --replace

import gconf
ImportError: No module named gconf

I have an Nvidia card (8600M) and have installed the latest driver from the ports.

Any help would be very greatly appreciated. Thank you.
