>Description:
Running the Mutter window manager (wm/mutter) without graphics/MesaLib installed causes windows to render as a black rectangle or even not render at all. This can be seen when using the GNOME desktop environment.
>How-To-Repeat:
1. Install the following packages: wm/mutter x11/gnome-session x11/gnome-shell
2. Enable and start the "dbus" service
3. Edit .xinitrc or .xsession and add "gnome-session"
4. Run "startx" or log in using XDM
>Fix:
Add one of the following lines to the Makefile of wm/mutter:
.include "../../graphics/MesaLib/buildlink3.mk"
DEPENDS+=MesaLib-[0-9]*:../../graphics/MesaLib

 Thanks for letting me know. Will look into it over the weekend.

 After investigation it appears that the black windows on VirtualBox is due =
 to a missing driver. Normally, the Mesa LLVMpipe driver would be loaded but=
  this doesn't seem to happen with the native X sets.

 I would say the proposed fix is unnecessary. Simply installing `graphics/Me=
 saLib` solves the problem. It doesn't need to be explicitly added to depend=
 encies. A mention in the docs would suffice IMO.

 I couldn't figure out why the LLVMpipe driver is not loaded when only nativ=
 e X sets are installed. Any guidance on the subject is welcome.
