Alan:
On Solaris Nevada, the best command to use is what both CDE login
and GDM use:
/usr/dt/config/Xsession.jds
On Indiana, the best command to use is the one GDM uses:
/etc/X11/gdm/Xsession /usr/bin/dtstart jds
If you just run gnome-session directly, then the scripts to
do things like set up fontpaths, input methods, xrdb, G11N
stuff don't get run.
