Assuming you have system-xfree86-43 installed, then the problem is with pango1-xft2: its dependencies haven't been modified to allow for a externally installed XFree86-4.3. The maintainer has been notified before about this--and I'll do it again.
If you'd like, you can edit the package information file yourself to make this work. Edit (assuming a default Fink setup) /sw/fink/10.2/unstable/main/finkinfo/gnome/pango1-xft2-1.2.1-3.info as root, and change the line
BuildDepends: xfree86 (>= 4.3.0), glib2-dev (>= 2.2.1-1), pkgconfig (>= 0.15.0-2), dlcompat-dev
to
BuildDepends: xfree86 (>= 4.3.0) | system-xfree86-43, glib2-dev (>= 2.2.1-1), pkgconfig (>= 0.15.0-2), dlcompat-dev

I don't think that xfree86-shlibs installed anything on top of my external XFree86 installation, because it was never installed.
My external XFree86 is 4.3, installed from the XDarwin package. I added quartz-wm and Xquartz to it, so I could run Apple's X11, but that's all I've changed.
I think my log out problems have to do with how I'm starting the session. This is the relevant line in my .xinitrc:
ssh -X [EMAIL PROTECTED] startxfce4
I have a private key installed on the freebsdmachine so that it doesn't request a password. This works fine to start the session, but it cannot seem to log out cleanly.

For question #1, I think you have a different problem. Do you have both
xfree86-shlibs and system-xfree86 installed? There was an error in
xfree86-shlibs-4.3.0-1 that let it be installed on top of an external
XFree86 installation. If you do have it installed you'll need to
a) Remove xfree86-shlibs by force:
sudo dpkg -r --force-all xfree86-shlibs
or use Fink Commander's Binary->Force Remove command
b) Reinstall your external XFree86 installation.
Also, if you aren't using XFree86-4.3, make sure that you don't have any
packages whose names end in -xft2
2) If your external XFree86 was 4.2, then having 4.3 libraries mixed in due
to xfree86-shlibs may be contributing to your logout issue.

Subject: [Fink-users] gnome2 install problems
Two questions:
1)
I get the following when trying to install gnome:
xfree86-shlibs conflicts with system-xfree86 system-xfree86 (version 4.2-6) is installed.
So, is it not possible to install gnome with XFree86 installed manually?
2)
What I really want to do is set up an elegant system whereby I can log onto my FreeBSD server desktop from my OSX machine, and log onto a window manager on that system.
I've been able to set it up so that I log on to the server via ssh -X, and startup a WM environment with gnome-session or startxfce4. However, when I log out, the WM performs the log-out procedure and then X freezes. I have simply quit XDarwin to get out. Not a huge deal, but kind of weird.
What is the best way to set this up? Ideally, I would like to have the option of selecting between a gnome or xfce4 session on my FreeBSD machine, which is why I was trying to install gnome via fink, so I could use XDMCP from gdm (I use gdm on the FreeBSD machine).
Any suggestions? Thanks!
