See http://library.gnome.org/misc/release-notes/2.24/ for the general release notes. On the FreeBSD front, this release introduces Fuse support in HAL, adds multi-CPU support to libgtop, WebKit updates, and fixes some long-standing seahorse and gnome-keyring bugs.

+Mounting Fuse File Systems with HAL
+-----------------------------------
+
+$FreeBSD$
+
+Hal supports mounting Fuse device-backed file systems (e.g. NTFS). To enable
+this feature, copy the included %%LOCALBASE%%/share/hal/mount-fuse script
+to /sbin. Make sure this script is executable. Edit the script, and change
+the FUSE_HELPER environment variable to the name of the executable which
+will actually mount the Fuse volume (e.g. for NTFS, this is ``ntfs-3g'').
+
+Finally, the script must be renamed to ``mount_FSNAME''. FSNAME is the name
+of the file system type (e.g. for NTFS, this is ``ntfs''). If there is
+already an executable in /sbin or /usr/sbin with this name, the
+existing executable must be renamed or deleted.
+
+As is stated in the examples above, overriding FreeBSD's existing NTFS
+support with Fuse's ntfs-3g is the most common use case for this. The
+ntfs-3g Fuse driver uses different mount options than FreeBSD's included
+mount_ntfs. GNOME transparently supports switching between ntfs and
+ntfs-3g. Simply edit the following GConf key in the GNOME
+Configuration Editor (i.e. gconf-editor):
+
+/system/storage/default_options/ntfs/fstype_override
+
+Set the value to ``ntfs-3g'', then add your desired ntfs-3g options to the
+following GConf key:
+
+/system/storage/default_options/ntfs-3g/mount_options
+
+Other desktop systems may have similar options.
