Possible Solution:gnome-session doesn't start on solaris

Hi There,

      I went through such a tantrum, but what I did (finally) is moved all the 
Xsession.gnome and Xsession.gnome2 </usr/dt/config> also Xinitrc.gnome 
+ their Xresources.gnome </usr/dt/config/C/Xresources.d> file to the 
default place on Solaris /usr/dt/config and edited those files to point the 
paths to the correct place and viola it worked not before I realised that it 
doesn't work over a remote session on the boxes. For some reason you 
cannot make use of Helix Gnome on an xdcmp session on another Sun 
Box. For some odd reason I also had to set up correct ownership and 
permissions which I thought that the software would do. During Helix 
installer installation I had to manually create the .gnome and 
.gnome_private directories in my home directory e.g /home/support and 
change ownership to nobody:nobody .

      But I guess for our CS labs students will use it directly at the 
workstation or console so it doesn't really matter. Hope that was helpful

       Cheers,

         Aly.
