I have installed the beta version for solaris. 
Its under ftp gnome/unstable/sources. Had to rebuild gproc and the 
gnome-applets. Gproc, Load- and Memory-applets work now. 
However the CPU applet doesnt do anything and remains black (but at least
is doesn't assert anymore). Guess it needs to be worked upon still :)
Thanks,

jan
