First of all, it asks me for my root password when I click install port,
it would be nice if I could tell it I have sudo set up, and installing a
port doesn't need root privs. Also, when I do give it my root password,
it just shows "Terminal type? [xterm]" and you can't actually input
anything, so it never does install anything. Then when I press cancel,
the entire app freezes, using up all my CPU, and I have to kill it.

I'm running the latest i386 snapshot, and just running pbrowser from an
xterm.
