I have just installed Gnome 2.22 on my FreeBSD 7.2 computer, however,I
am unable to change any settings from the GUI.
It seems that all the settings are greyed out; even the unlock button is
greyed out, meaning that I cannot press the button to gain the necessary
authorization.
I have logged into gnome using a user that has been added to the "wheel"
group, so that I can su into root. However, if I launch, for example,
network-admin while I have sued into rooot, I am still unable to change
the interface settings.
Can anyone explain me what gives and provide me with some info on what
configuration file(s) to edit?
I have not modified any of the original configuration files.
I look forward to any responses.

Nothing in 'System' -> 'Administration' work. You can read here:

(sysutils/system-tools-backends part)

Cheers,
