missing icons with Solaris Nevada

[James Weatherall]

Hi Robert,

This looks like a well-known bug in Gnome when running multiple separate
desktops under the same user account.  If you close all the other desktops
running under that user account on that computer, you should find that your
icons behave sensibly.

You may also want to check the pixel format of the Solaris console desktop
against the one your Xvnc desktop is using, since some older versions of
Gnome failed to handle all but a few formats correctly.

Regards,

Wez @ RealVNC Ltd.
