Well, I just upgraded to Solaris 10_58, and once I was sure that was stable, I pulled over this Solaris/SPARC test binary package and installed it. Not so happy it's going into /usr/local - that's supplied over NFS from our group server, so I had to install it there. But otherwise the install was fine. I'm also using it as the replacement WM for Gnome, rather than on its own. This was the reason I moved to 0.16.6, for the support for that =O) So far, I've seen 2 SEGVs and no coredumps. The first seemed to be because I was using the menus having set off a menu regeneration. The second was while I was trying to figure out what was going on with my icon boxes (it turned out I had three stacked in the bottom left, after a weird problem last week with the old version I'd built myself and a reboot I didn't initiate - not a Solaris fault, a man came around to do our annual power checks while I was on holiday, so they shutdown my desktop dirty). Everything else seems fine, and no other crashes so far - but since the last version was incredibly stable, these two crashes are disturbing. I also note that on attempting a restart, I get a dialogue wanting to edit my .xinitrc, and even if I can click to get rid of it, it just hangs on the spinning watch. This was fixed a while back, but seems to have come back? It was only ever a problem on Solaris, and some checks for whether or not there really was another WM running were added. I see 3 processes on my box, because I have 2 screens off two separate (and different) graphics cards in here. The lack of cores is a pain - I'll try to force one if it SEGVs again.
