Hi Alan,

Was trying to port Google Gadgets to OpenSolaris (Sun Studio) lately and 
it works partly on my OpenSolaris 2008.11 box as showed below:
- without compiz enabled:

As it uses C++ template a lot, I have to build it with the Apache 
Standard C++ Library libstdcxx (PSARC/2008/549) which hasn't been 
integrated into OpenSolaris yet. On the other hand, the system specific 
code needs some further porting efforts (CPU, memory, power, network 
related parts for example).

Will create a SFE spec and guys who are interested can help out.

Cheers,
-Alfred
