I've had Dtpad or Dtterm crashing on me and taking all open Dtpad/Dtterm windows with it, causing me to lose quite a bit of work. Korganizer provides a very feature-packed Calendar, but then you'd need portions of KDE for that. I have never used Dtcm since Korganizer had served my purpose. To be fair I have faced gnome-panel and nautilus crashes but those were in the older Solaris Express builds or on Solaris 10.
