Well, you're right, dbus' launchd plist has the org.freedesktop prefix, and the if-your-MacPorts-isn't-working uninstall instructions would not catch that. The if-your-MacPorts-isn't-working uninstall instructions won't catch 100% of everything that MacPorts could possibly install. They just catch most things. (If your MacPorts is working, then you'd "sudo port -f uninstall installed" and it would uninstall that file.) We can't really add org.freedesktop.* to the list of things to uninstall, because those files might have been installed by the user not using MacPorts. _______________________________________________ macports-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/macports-users
