gnome-2.12, Solaris x86, gnome-panel failes

[Guenter Feldmann <fld informatik uni-bremen de>]

Hi gnome developers,

  I successfully compiled the gnome-2.12 torballs on Solaris10/x86. All
self tests passed with one exception (libgail-gnome). 

  Unfortunately I cannot start the desktop as the gnome-panel dies with
the following messages:

> Bonobo accessibility support initialized
> GTK Accessibility Module initialized
>

  Has there anything changed in the gnome startup (additional environment 
variables which have to be set, ...) or did I encounter a bug?

  How can I find the reason for the failure?
