Evidently the binary packages are out-of-sync. The current gnome-libs
is up to libgnomeui.so.44.1. My guess is that you have a current
gnome-libs, but an older gnome-core (which contains gnome-session).

Where did you get the packages, and what architecture and version of
NetBSD do you have? It may be that there's a newer version of
gnome-core on ftp.netbsd.org already. Alternatively, an older
gnome-libs might do as well. The gnome package itself is just a list
of packages to install, so chances are there's nothing to change
there. Whichever package you do replace, just "pkg_delete -r" the old
one before trying to "pkg_add" the new one.

Unfortunately, the collections of binary packages are managed by
different people at different times, so this seems to happen a lot.
It's really bad for gnome, since gnome has so many dependencies. If
you can't make it work by changing one or two components, please
report version and architecture, so some developer may upload a
consistent set.
