Comment:

 Dependencies for libgda5 were updated in r111791 including the use of
 gtksourceview3, goocanvas2.

 Turning off yelp and gnome-settings-daemon breaks functionality in the
 port.

 Yelp is required for the Help menu to work and gnome-settings-daemon is
 necessary to allow theming to work properly among other things.
 A better approach would be figuring out how to fix these deficiencies in a
 quartz build.  Nonetheless, you can remove these
 dependencies in a +quartz variant for your own purposes if you like.

 The problem is that full session support for GNOME really depends on X11
 at this point in time.  The best you can do
 for +quartz for now is to port individual GNOME apps without session
 support.  Depending on the app (and the interests of
 the upstream developers) this approach, as you have seen, may or may not
 be successful without significant upstream changes.
 Non X11 upstream development is more focused on Wayland right now.

 My main focus at this point is to keep up with the rapidly changing
 upstream GNOME releases with +quartz as a background activity
 so any input you can give on how to make individual apps work with +quartz
 without breaking the full X11 capability is welcome and
 probably should be directed more at the upstream developers so that they
 can see there is a demand for it.

 Thanks for your interest in this area.
