A failsafe session also does not work. I did a command line
login to see what gnome-session would report. Barked about
libmlib.so.2 not being SUNW_2.5, so I downloaded and 
installed v2.5 of Medialib.

After doing that, tried logins again...no dice.

I tried the above as well, both before and after Medialib 2.5.
No luck.

I'll try this also....but what do you mean by CBE? Was this
a typo of CDE? Or could I also do this via a command line
login?
