+So, I wanted to upgrade Firefox on my FreeBSD 10 workstation,
+and this in turn caused some supporting libraries to be upgraded,
+and this broke all sorts of things again.
+
+Initially gdm just segfaulted. After more manual upgrades,
+it turned out to work again, except that GDM had lost all localization,
+and in particular got the wrong keymap for the login screen.
+
+It appears that gdm_lang is no longer honored (despite still being
+mentioned in /usr/local/etc/rc.d/gdm): you now need to set gdm's
+locale in /usr/local/etc/gdm/locale.conf. Also note that unlike
+other user-editable configuration files, this one is overwritten
+each time gdm is reinstalled.

+This is an entry level network-connected multi function printer. It
+does not have a built-in Postscript interpreter. Instead, it receives
+raster data through a proprietary network protocol implemented as
+a closed source binary plugin to the CUPS filtering system.
+
+In addition to CUPS, the following ports must be installed:
+  * print/hplip
+  * print/hplip-plugin
+
+Once this is done, the printer can be added to CUPS. The standard
+socket connection options cannot be used. Instead, the "HPLIP" transport
+must be selected. The printer URI must be set manually from the output of
+`hp-makeuri <IP-address>`. (The plugin requires an URI starting with
+"hp:", and will reject any other device URI with an error message saying
+"Error: This module is designed to work with HP Printers only").
