The reason is that if a theme is removed after updating to a new version,
then we are left over with a useless cache file because we are using
pkg_add -u and not pkg_delete.
Metacity is a simple window manager that integrates nicely with GNOME.
(note that it is exactly the same as the one under x11/gnome except it
depends on x11/gnome/themes-standard (i.e. gtk+3) because the default
theme is different in GNOME3 -- eventually when upstream fix gtk+3
support in metacity this can go back in the main hierarchy and we'll add
a gtk+3 FLAVOR)
gnome-session contains the GNOME session manager, as well as a
configuration program to choose applications starting on login.

Rational: except for QT/KDE ports, gtk+2 should already be in the
dependency chain for ports installing share/icons/ files (i.e. no need
to explicitely add it) and if we have svg icons without their png
counterpart and librsvg is not part of the dependency chain then we
explicitely add it.
gnome-icon-theme is the inherited theme for most icon themes so we
make sure we have gtk-update-icon-cache and can display svg icons.

gnome-panel contains the GNOME panel, the libpanel-applet library and
several applets:
* the GNOME panel is the area on your desktop from which you can run
applications and applets, and perform other tasks.
* the libpanel-applet library allows to develop small applications
which may be embedded in the panel. These are called applets.
Documentation for the API is available with gtk-doc.
* the applets supplied here include the Workspace Switcher, the Window
List, the Window Selector, the Notification Area, the Clock and the
infamous 'Wanda the Fish'.

it would default to ipv6 as most interfaces have an unused ipv6 address, while
actually using the ipv4 address. this fixes ping/traceroute functionality when
using hostnames instead of ip addresses.
