gnome-terminal has an undeclared dependency on libgnome

[cubranic@…]

  gnome-terminal @2.30.2_1+universal (active)

$ gnome-terminal
Xlib:  extension "RANDR" missing on display ":0.0".

According to SuSE Bugzilla (​https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=598818), the problem is that gnome-terminal has an undeclared dependency on libgnome.

$ port installed libgnome
None of the specified ports are installed.

$ sudo port install libgnome
...
--->  Activating libgnome @2.30.0_0

$ gnome-terminal

Now works correctly.

Note that it's not the libgnome library that gnome-terminal needs; it needs the schemas the libgnome port registers when it's activated. This explains why gnome-terminal still works if you install libgnome and then deactivate libgnome. You might think this means libgnome should just be a build dependency, but this would break gnome-terminal if libgnome is ever corrected to unregister the schemas when it's deactivated. Probably it would be most correct for libgnome to be a runtime dependency of gnome-terminal.

I increased the revision of gnome-terminal in r85008 to get libgnome installed for those users who didn't have it before.

libgnome moved to depends_run in r85018. Thanks for your insights, Ryan.
