Comment (by devans@…):

 I thought the same time and ran the port in gdb to see what was happening.
 The end result was that it is working just does a lot of font processing
 before it starts drawing any fonts.  On my system it takes 30 seconds from
 the time the blank window appeared to the time fonts started rendering.
 Admittedly there are a lot of fonts.  It initially gets the list of font
 directories from fontconfig and then processes all the fonts in those
 directories before drawing. I count 33 directories with over 5000 fonts.
 So start it up, go get a cup of tea and see if there are any fonts when
 you get back.

 Based on this, I vote to commit the port as-is, but it's up to you.  Let
 me know.

 BTW, any progress on gnome-screenshot?  Why not post your current Portfile
 and we can both try and see what the issue is. As I said before, I'm not
 sure how it's supposed to work within the GNOME session.
