We have a site-compiled version of 4.4.2. Biggest complaint I had is that we had to compile our own Glib/GTK (chose 2.6 since it's close to 2.4 that ships with Solaris 10) in order to get it up though. Wish Sun would upgrade Glib/GTK to 2.6 (GNOME is 2.6...). Otherwise it works alright (not sure about xfce4-mixer; never tested the whole environment too extensively), but causes an issue for Sun Ray @ Home users since it insists on opening the audio recording device (probably to monitor the volume), which is a no-no for home broadband connections (causes the session to go unresponsive).
How is 4.6 working for you? Also, if you're root on the system, I'd advise trying the crle tool instead of setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH. It is a nice desktop environment in general, though. Add me to the list of interested users :) William > -----Original Message----- > From: desktop-discuss-bounces at opensolaris.org [mailto:desktop-discuss- > bounces at opensolaris.org] On Behalf Of Peter Tribble > Sent: Wednesday, July 22, 2009 4:23 PM > To: Desktop discuss > Subject: [desktop-discuss] XFCE > > I've been playing with XFCE (on Solaris 10 - I find the S10 gnome build > far more useable than the more recent versions, so I'm trying to find a > way to get a desktop environment I can live with in order to be able to > actually run OpenSolaris or SXCE on my desktop without getting so mad > it drives me to distraction). > > Anyway, for reference, my notes on getting current XFCE running on Solaris > 10 are here: > > http://www.petertribble.co.uk/Solaris/xfce-install.html > > which leads into my next question: anyone else running XFCE?
