I tried xfig and meld, and I stopped there. I already lost 2 days on
this. You already replied to the other threads I started.

Thanks. I managed to get xfig working by unloading the macports'
agent, but dbus is still broken. Given the amount of related tickets
on MacPorts trac, I am definitely not the only one seeing this. What I
fail to see is a single user to actually got dbus running.
