[PC-BSD Testing] 8.1 RC1 Issues

[Arthur Koziol]

Alexander,

In iBus 1.3.3_1, there was a change that may reflect this problem being 
fixed:

/  * add devel/py-notify in RUN_DEPENDS; it is not installed by any port
    in the hierarchy, without it there is no panel icon and candidates
    menus;
/

Not sure id the two are related but it was something I noticed.
