It's not killing and restarting - it's selecting "Restart Enlightenment"
from the middle mouse button menu that leaves me with the spinning watch
and complaint about another WM running.  As I say, it's an on-and-off
thing over the years with Solaris. And before it seemed to be due to the
different number of visible processes running, etc.  Having two distinct
heads doesn't help, either.  I don't tend to do this anyway - it
happened because I wanted to try the Winter theme, is all.

I have a Java Desktop (Linux) box on the desk next to my Solaris 10 box,
and can easily log into the Solaris box and run E inside gdb from
there.  But I have to say that I've not seen a single problem since I
reported these.  I can do this and try to reproduce them, if you want? 
The multiple iconbox thing should never happen and was my own fault,
anyway...

Ta,
