There’s been multiple reports of pulseaudio causing problems for DragonFly users. It would get pulled in as a dependency, and audio would suddenly stop working. Uninstall, and audio is fine. John Marino has removed it from dports, to prevent that exact problem.
A running description of activity related to DragonFly BSD.
so, remove gnome too :P
Please, remove dbus as dependency from any port too :)
Great!
