I notice that Gnome's ability to save the desktop is almost 
non-existent in the Gnome that comes with Solaris 10 9/07.  CDE 
handles this perfectly, restoring every application (including legacy 
ones like xterm) to where it was before, including to the correct 
workspace, and even logging into a remote machine if necessary.

Gnome displays a one-line (non-resizable) scrolling window of the many 
applications it says it won't be able to restore when the user logs 
out.  Then when the user logs in, a vast number of applications are 
thrown up on the first workspace, but many applications (including the 
all-vital calendar which must work so you don't lose your job) are 
missing.  This is quite a mess.

Does the Gnome desktop work better in this regard for the Express 
version, or in a forthcoming OpenSolaris version?

Thanks,

Bob
