Oh.  So you're running Xvnc, and telling it to use XDMCP to talk to
another machine? I'm confused.

Download Gnome.  It's worth it, and works fine on Solaris 8.  I used
it to about 4 years (1.4).  I admit, I still prefer 1.4 over 2.0.
Sigh.  Gnome people seem to be of the opinion you shouldn't customize
things, so they remove that option. Just try mapping a mouseclick to a
window action! :-)
