--- Comment #3 from Graham Perrin <[email protected]> ---
Thanks for explaining. 

Generally:
<https://www.reddit.com/r/freebsd/comments/1ryuar8/will_gnome_ever_work_on_freebsd_again/>
includes a pinned comment from mid-March. If you'd like something else to be
stated and pinned, let me know. 

For this bug: I guess, the simplest partial workaround is to disable the
automatic screen lock (in the privacy and security pane of GNOME settings). I
wonder about locking when the system sleeps, however – with x11/gnome on
FreeBSD in VirtualBox – I see no option to sleep. These things need not be
discussed in Bugzilla, so let's close this report.
